Whiteflare... Thats one great thing about BYC... Its always here when you need it..and unlike an animal...you can "put it away for a while " and come back to it later....and it wont be sick or dying from neglect
I feel like that every day I get home from work. The ducklings have grown noticeably...others outside have gone from a heavy molt to looking gorgeous... I dont like winter.. for the fact of not having the daylight hours to spend out there with them.
I'm similar... I moved to Adelaide when I was 11. It's been a while. I don't remember much of Leeds, but I kinda like it here. It took me three + years to settle, but I've done it.
