Welcome to the February edition of In Your Vicinity 

We are now well into the New Year, and as the previous few years the weather has been very wet, each day just feels like continual rain, with just a few days of freezing temperatures. On the plus side as we approach February you can see a significant difference in the daylight hours. The cold rain though does seem to have impacted the number of large pot-holes in the roads, and some are very big dangerous creating damage to vehicles, but also a dangerous situation for cyclists and motorbikes, especially if you are not aware of the road and the holes are covered by a puddle.

February is the month of Love, Saturday 14th is the date to show your loved one how much they mean to you, maybe going out for a lovely meal, or to the cinema, perhaps cooking a special dinner, buying some flowers or taking the opportunity to ask that special person out on a date.

Shrove Tuesday is February 17th, also known as Pancake Day; Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is the last day before the fasting period of Lent, 47 days before Easter Sunday. Towards the end of the month, we have the half-term week, possibly the hardest break for keeping the kids entertained due to poor weather. It also sometimes creates issues for parents with child care and the need to take time away from work.

The Six Nations begins this month. The opening game, France v Ireland, promises to be a fantastic close game, and the opening weekend fixture sees Italy host Scotland and England host Wales. The popular Premier League of Darts starts in Newcastle on Thursday, February 5th, the Winter Olympics from Italy starts on Feb 6th, the Super Bowl is in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, February 8th, and the Rugby Super League season begins on Feb 12th, with York hosting Hull Kingston Rovers.
