It's the warm soft glow of lamps and a crackling fire, snuggling in a chair with a good book, listening to winter storms outside.
It's slow cooker dinners and hot chocolate (and sometimes, just sometimes, melting a few squares of chocolate in my chocolate melty-pot and spoiling myself for a little while).
It's the smell of Skin-So-Soft bath oil and woodsmoke; pumpkin soup with bacon and a good bottle of red.
It's fog in the mornings and frost overnight.
It's footy on the weekends and walks on the beach with stinging, cold rain and a wind that comes straight off the Southern Ocean.
Sometimes, I can nearly convince myself that I love winter.
*Sigh* After reading that, I can almost convince myself I love winter too. Almost ;)

ReplyDeleteAgree with Lori - that was beautiful! It's the first day of summer here and I'm all "YESSSSSSSSSSS!!" because I love the heat (not that it isn't hot nearly all year round, really)...but that gave me a twinge of wist for lovely winter x
ReplyDeleteYou've almost convinced me!! Almost ....
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Toni. Really well written. I think I could fall in love with winter after that!! And that's coming from a freezing-my-toes-off Taswegian! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly highlighted the features of winter well! If only we didn't have to go outside, winter would be the best season! x
ReplyDeletePS Sending you a 'virtual hug' for Saturday o
