An excuse to stay home at night.
Homemade soup with fresh, buttery bread.
Appreciating sunny days, all the more precious because of their rarity.
An opportunity to wear scarves and pashminas.
Sitting around the fire chatting.
Cosy quilts and rugs.
Brilliantly green grass.
The smell of bubbling stews and casseroles.
Dreams of a trip to the snow.
The sound of rain on the roof while I'm snuggled up inside.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
My hand wrapped around the warmth of a mug of tea.
Sitting outside in the cold, cheering on my football team with my family.
Anticipating the first blooms of spring.
