Looking back over January,

 we have had many more beautiful winter days than we normally expect in this area.

January weather

 Of course, it has not been like this every day so far this January, but by far, we have had more beautiful, clear, sunny days this year than usual.

This is a view of the Sutton Harbour Marina, in the historic Barbican area of Plymouth's waterfront.

In youth the days are short and the years are long,

 In old age the days are long and the years are short.

                                                                                 Pope Paul V1

What fire could ever equal

 the sunshine of a winter's day.
