- wrapping up in berry shades of scarves hats and gloves
- seeing the crisp blanket of frost every morning
- snuggling in bed a little longer than normal because you don't want the cold air to embrace you
- slipping into a hot bath every night
- which consequently leads to filling up baskets of Lush stuff on a weekly basis
- spending weekends taking it slow
- filling the house with aromas of hearty meals
- diving into endless cups of teas, coffees and hot chocolates
- which consequently leads to endless trips to Starbucks and Costa
- or if you're savvy like me and discover 'the best homemade hot chocolate recipe in the world'
- secretly praying for the arrival of snow
- then getting annoyed with the always wrong weather reports promising snow
- those crisp silent hours of the morning that remain dark and mysterious
- enjoying soup much much more than you would usually
- rejuvenating and resting
- having the time indoors to try hand making delicious recipes
- discovering the importance of family
- embracing the arrival of spring and changes anew
it's harder than I thought to summarise a whole season into a blog post, but those are my personal favourite bits. what does winter mean to you?
