Winter green

If winter is grey where you live—grey streets, grey buildings, grey skies—perhaps you need some green in your days. We used to find the winter months colourless and drab, but now, when the days are short, we’re surrounded by colour, most of it green. This is a typical scene when we take Silas out for a “bush walk” in the forest behind us. The moss thrives at this time of year, dogs love to romp through what must seem like a wilderness to them, and people inhale the quiet with each new breath.
