I must admit when I lived in the north west of Scotland I reached a point in the Summer when I began to look forward to winter. Long dark nights and nothing to do grew appealing, up to the point in Winter when I was fully rested and ready for the sun again.

But then I would have house guests most of the Summer, we would walk in the hills till three or four in the morning. I would go to work after a couple of hours sleep only to return home at six o’clock to cook everyone else’s breakfast. Sometimes I would drop one lot of guests off at the ferry at 9pm, clean the house and do the laundry in time to pick the next lot up at 6am.
