it happens every single year. when summer (if we can call our two months of rain that would impress even noah ‘summer’) begins to wind down, i start to think longingly of hats and scarves, biting winds, twinkling lights and all things cinnamon. last year i got so excited about christmas in september that jason banned me from mentioning it until november! i ignored that rule totally, of course ;)
i’m really looking forward to making my favourite cranberry and apple chutney in october, and waiting patiently whilst it matures ready to be eaten with cheese on christmas day. i can’t wait for the yankee christmas candles to arrive in the shops, and i have my fingers crossed that they bring back the ‘sparkling snow’ scent that was my absolute favourite from last year’s range. i can’t wait for snow, and gift wrapping colour schemes, and decorating the house with lights, and the delicious smell of fir trees.
what are your favourite things about winter? are you already beginning to dream of all things festive, just like i am? :)
