Thursday, September 20

in an attempt to lift my spirits at the impending change in seasons ...

things i like about autumn / winter

soaking in a lavender and tea tree scented hot bath,
the myriad of colours and shades in the changing leaves,
snuggling up under a cosy blanket on the couch with m to watch a film,
long, candlelit evenings,
climbing into a bed warmed by the electric blanket,
delicious soups, stews and casseroles made with squashes and root vegetables,
getting all wrapped up to go out walking in the forest,
the smell of woodsmoke carried on the crisp air,
the silence created by a fresh snow fall,
running through a pile of fallen leaves,
the anticipation of the first flurries of snow,
snowdrops breaking through the barren ground,
looking up to watch the snowflakes fall from the sky,
a big soup bowl of hot chocolate and a cinnamon bun in a stockholm coffee shop,
time off at christmas and new year spent with loved ones :)
