I hadn't thought there was anything but having read this thread and thought a bit, I don't think I could live without Spring and Summer. I hate the cold, and I feel it more than most. If it was winter all the time and it was cold and dark all year... I don't think I could handle that.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I hate Winter. I love snow and frost, they're beautiful. It's just that it all goes on far too long for my liking, and knowing it's only temporary helps me get through it.

The funny thing is, it's only in this winter and the last that I've thought this way. I didn't mind the cold at all before that. Probably because my family home had guaranteed warm heating which I abused because I didn't have to pay for it. But, my first winter renting a house (I was in University halls before that, but they had decent heating), there was no heating except a small radiator that didn't work and the window was only single-glazed. The nights got very unpleasant sometimes. When Formy wasn't there to warm me up, I'd often just lie there shivering, unable to fall asleep.
