Four whole months to go before we'll open the pool. It seems like decades away. In the meantime, we have to look out onto the drab scene above.
At least this next picture reminds me that Summer is out there somewhere, and that T Shirts, bare feet, and wet hair will once again be a part of everyday life again.
The combination of hot sunshine and a cooling pool seem like a distant dream at the moment, so I need to look at pictures (such as the above) to remind me that it really does exist.
Did I ever mention that I really hate Winter?
I cant wait for summer. If I had a pool and a view like that I would summer all year round! Its stunning
ReplyDeleteI really should be doing what my youngest son does; half the year in one hemisphere, and the other half in the other. Makes sense, doesn't it.
DeleteYou don't like winter then?
ReplyDeleteCan't stand it. I really should be in Bali.
DeleteReally, I don't think so.
DeleteMust say the bottom photo looks more inviting - 31 here today but no pool.
ReplyDeleteNot too bad today. 6 C this morning, after some slight rain in the night. I'd swap for your 31 C any day.
DeleteIncredible the difference in temperatures. My family find it hard to get their head around a Greece with snow. Should be 30o all year round they say. Your photos show the reality! The med does indeed have a winter, even if only a couple of months
ReplyDeleteEspecially as we've had no snow here! I have a feeling that there's a lot of rain coming our way.
DeleteFour months...that does sound like a long time! But for us, as trainee market gardeners, it is too short a time until the spring crops need going into the ground because we have so much to do before that, weather permitting!
ReplyDeleteI'm already trying to dig my plot in readiness (my rotovator has packed up). Little by little.
DeleteWhile winter isn't my favourite season it still has much to offer. Shorter working days on the smallholding for a start! Black and white photo versus colour isn't too fair Cro! Very little snow here too .
ReplyDeleteI though the comparison was very subtle!
DeleteBoth pictures are great views Cro. My mister hates winter too and is really grumpy for most of it - goes to work in the dark and then returns in the dark and practically lives in bed....comes alive when the sun shines. We really need to think about booking a holiday................
ReplyDeleteI try to be grumpy, but my natural cheery self prohibits it.
DeleteDrab scene? It is a good photo, though. Grey day!
ReplyDeleteEven worse today, it's wet and even more drab.
DeleteBlack and white photo really makes the scene look cold and even unloved. Is there a supermarket trolley in the water?
ReplyDeleteOne trolley, two bikes, and a car tyre.
DeleteYou must have very strong winds there, or it was you who threw all that stuff to the pool.
ReplyDeleteIt arrived from Heaven!
DeleteJoin the club Cro. Although quite Spring like here today.
ReplyDeleteWe had some rain this morning; looks OK now though. Very much twixt Winter and Spring.
DeleteOur pool cover is buried under snow right now. My husband despises winter (and we live in Canada) and I would much rather have a hot day as well. He's always researching Caribbean properties. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteA cabin on the beach in Grand Cayman would suit me just fine! Sadly the funds are lacking.
DeleteYou've just got to embrace it Cro ..... Spring and Summer wouldn't be half as good if we didn't have Winter !! Open fires and lots of comfort food ..... that'll keep your pecker up 'till Spring. XXXX
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to tell myself that, but my Winter blues won't budge.
DeleteHaving lived in sunny climes for several years and having basically wall to wall sunshine x 365 (and the odd hurricane), I really appreciate the seasons. Even winter that I moan about. I really do.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want that 30 C 365 days a year climate, but fewer cold hands, feet, and noses would be nice.
DeleteYour pool is gorgeous. I don't blame you for wishing it was summer year round!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
4 months to go..... then Yippee.
DeleteDid I ever tell how much I hate Summer??
ReplyDeleteJack Sprat would eat no fat.....
DeleteWithout winter, would the days of spring seem so remarkable.
ReplyDeleteHow about Winter at nights, and Summer in the daytimes?
DeleteThat pool looks so amazing! That's all, I gotta go find my swimsuit.
ReplyDeleteMe too Donna. And the cold beer to go with it.
