Hopefully the grip of Winter is firmly behind us as the days slowly get longer and lighter,

With the birds sing louder and louder, and we can finally get the feeling of all things brighter!

The earth pulls at us all to stir and move, and to start making plans and prepare for new goals

As we can begin to think about putting the boots away in readiness for the shorts and plimsolls!

We have the long Easter weekend to enjoy, plus St David’s and St Patricks day, and Mothering Sunday

And a chance to spoil her rotten with perhaps a meal more gourmet, and a stunning floral display!

In Chipping Sodbury we have concerts, a gala dinner for the RNLI, plays and the spring MOP Funfair,

Plus further afield The Gold Cup, and bread making at the Badminton Estate complete with crafty cookware!

So let’s enjoy the clocks going forward and the arrival of the glorious daffodils to make us all smile,

And plan a trip to our lovely town to explore, plus a visit at The Moda House and stay for a wee while!

Now that January is out the way we can begin to look forward to the arrival of longer days,

With the merest hint that the winter months are gradually going, and we can anticipate some warming rays!

But there is still Pancake and Valentine’s Day to enjoy with sugar, lemon juice and roses all round,

With the usual frying and flipping, and the romantic and commercial celebration merry go round!

In Chipping Sodbury there are concerts taking place plus a tribute to ELO and Lionel Richie,

And the Fawlty Towers dining experience, with Basil and Sybil causing chaotic mayhem and being bitchy!

More Moda marmalade has been made and the new dining room table has gone down a storm,

And the heating has been on full blast to cope with the arctic air, keeping the house all toasty and warm!

So let’s begin to await some early occasional sunshine and to all those women who are in love and carefree,

It is time to bite the bullet, buy a sparkling ring, chose a special location and get down on one knee!

The month of January is the doorway to the New Year, and the straddling of one year into 2024

That allows us to reflect, and then to look forward in anticipation of what might be in store!

Twixtmas represents those strange few days when it can be hard not to get down in the dumps,

But we should not let resolutions fall by the wayside and just think of things that will give us goosebumps!

It can be a depressing and bleak month with the lack of daylight and the bracing, blustery weather,

Plus brisk and bitter temperatures that can affect us all and bring us almost to the end of our tether!

In Chipping Sodbury we have Robin Hood and Babes in the Wood to cheer us up with a pantomime

With everyone on stage making sure we are fully entertained and having a grand old merry time!

At The Moda House the marmalade making will be in full swing with pans and pots bubbling away,

With the addition of a good glug of whisky which is surely enough of a reason to come for a stay!

So let’s embrace the New Year and look forward to some days out, little treats and a trip to the shops,

And we can enjoy the arrival of the sunshine yellow winter aconites, and the glorious snow drops!
