It's a bleak Tuesday morning in January, with the sun hidden away behind the clouds, and just over a week after Blue Monday - allegedly the most depressing day of the year.
With the temperature today having reached a high of 5 degrees Celcius and people walking around the city centre wrapped up in layers of scarfs, coats, and hats, it could be easy to see why some think this is the bleakest time of the year.
But if you take a walk around Cardiff, I'm sure you'll find that there's plenty to smile about, from amazing street art and quirky statues to jolly stall holders and new businesses opening up the area.
