I think I can safely say it's been a very long winter this year and after the storms of December and January followed by the "beast from the east" how much longer do we need to wait for the warmer brighter days of spring and summer? I like a lot of people find even the hint of sunshine makes me feel better, more inspired and lifts my enthusiasm and eagerness in both work and life in general, so let's hope the warmer weather soon makes an appearance.
I guess there is one silver lining in having so much crap weather, it means I've been putting in far longer hours at my flame which in turn equals more beads being listed in my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/pebbledreams The spacer selection is really becoming large now with well over 250 sets now listed and even more being added each day, I was really pleased to receive a number of comments on how good the selection of spacers is and one new customer mentioned how nice it was to find such a vast number of colours to pick from and at sensible prices too. It's comments like these from new and existing customers that make the long hours worth it, most who know me and how I work, now very well that charging realistic prices and giving the best range of beads I can is all I really care about, it will never make me rich I know but I sure makes me happy.
On the cycling side of things it's great now the clocks have changed and the evenings are lighter longer because it will now mean I can cycle morning and evening, just need the rain to ease off. I have a long list of fen villages that I'm hoping to visit and of course, I'll be posting what I discover here on my blog. It's funny but apart from enjoying exploring some of these small gems of the fenland countryside, it makes exercising a lot easier, I never really think of my rides as being an effort these days, to me they are more of an adventure, a learning curve where you never know whats around the next corner and that can only be a good thing in my eyes.
Finally, I would just like to wish everybody a very happy Easter and I hope you enjoy a little time off from this busy world we live in.
