You have to think positive e.g. Spring and warmer weather will come and it won't feel half as bad when we can spend more time outside - I came to adore weeding the garden in the first lockdown! Now nothing gives me more pleasure than spending the entire morning cooking to make best use of things that have been in the freezer/cupboards for probably too long.
wow there are some beautiful cottages , We have been to Giggleswick near Settle before and loved it, it's only £25 deposit to secure the booking, Just might do it
