This has been a typical New Year.
Low, overcast sky. Warm(ish) but with a bit of a biting wind.
By which I mean, when you go out in flip flops your toes will turn pink.

My most hated, horrible weather at pretty much my most hated horrible time of year.

I'm not big on Spring, as it is wet and muddy and everyone else is quoting drug-addled poets. And the sun is low in the sky and makes me sneeze (same as Autumn, but Autumn is pretty).

But at least you can see the coming leaves and flowers in Spring. New Year is neither here nor there. Typically in England it is no frost, no fog, no sparkles, no snow. Just the scrag end of Christmas with soggy grey cardboard put out for the bin-men and sad porridgey skies reflecting everyone's return to Puritanism after the blaze of colour that was Yuletide.

There.
Got that off my chest.
See you about half past May.
