So far today three people have told me that they're sick of these 'bleak', 'dreary', 'grey' winter days. Anyone who actually bothers to walk out into these winter days - rather than just stare at them through the plastic-framed windows of their houses, offices or cars - knows that this is nonsense. But to add insult to injury the people who are whinging about winter are much the same people who moaned about the weeds back in the spring and summer.
Because sometimes we need a delightfully brutal Scottish reality check somtimes....
