Lighter Nights

[domart]

Is anyone excited like me that next week (i think the clocks go forward at the weekend??) i will be able to get home circa 6 .15 and run upstairs get my suit off and into my gardening clothes to spend an hour or whatever light allows outside !!! is that sad?

[taff]

nope, that's normal. When it stays light until half eight, I'll be even normaller than you

[Nicos]

Well...we're already an hour ahead of you- and yup, tis already fantastic!!!

...and another hour will be even more fantasticer

The mornings at the moment are just perfect, I like it when it gets light at around 6am, so that I can wake up naturally.

However, nothing beats the ability of spending a couple of hours over the lottie, after work. Especially on a warm day.

I like the lighter mornings as in the summer i get up early and go down the lottie to water before the sun gets up. I am not in favour of extending summer time.. who wants it still to be light at midnight in june.

I get in from work at 7:20pm so will relish the 20 minutes or so of light next week

I hadn't realised the clocks go forward next week - how lovely to come home from work and after a quick cuppa and a change of clothes to get outside.

Today is the Spring Equinox. From here on (for six months) we will have more light than dark. Excellent news, I hate the winter. Long, cold and dark.

[Hans Mum]

yep me too..... get to work early from next week so I can escape as early as possible to get to lottie for a couple of hours after work, we'll eat later (when ive finished at lottie) for a few weeks so I can get as much time there as possible...i'm glad there are others who are excited at the prospect.....

Not being a morning person I love the light nights. Purely from a selfish point of view double double summer time would work for me.

Love it, love it love It !!!!!!!!!!

[HeyWayne]

It's a bit of a double-edged sword for me.

I love the lighter evenings and getting down to the plot, or in the garden, or whatever really.

However, I reckon it will mean getting Bean to sleep will be more of a challenge...

[poly-lulu]

The only problem is when the mornings and the evenings are lighter...problems can arise.. I got to the lottie this morning to find my shed broken into and poly tunnel in shreds....great..after all the hard work, someone comes along and ruins it all....oh well stand up. brush myself off and start saving for a new one i spose.

I certainly felt the difference last night, still light(ish) at 8pm. Bring on the feel good factor, it's been a long winter.
