I always feel that Winter doesn't start properly until after Christmas and New Year are all done and dusted. The month of December is usually too interesting and exciting to be able to concentrate on the fact that the weather is getting so much colder. It's only after the last forlorn Christmas decoration has been taken down, and the final glass of bubbly has been drunk to celebrate the incoming year, that normal service resumes, and we are back to grumbling about our climate once more.
So now, here we are, at the beginning of probably two or three months of pretty miserable weather, with no imminent festivities to take our minds off it. But I am glad to live in a place where all four seasons are so clearly marked, and like the other three seasons, winter has plenty to recommend it if you think about it long enough. In fact, one of my favourite types of weather is a crisp, clear winter day, with a cloudless and brilliant blue sky. There is something so fresh about a day like that, and it just begs you to wrap up, get out there and enjoy it.
Conversely, there is a major appeal in returning to a warm home after a day out in the cold. An interior is never so cosy as when it provides the nice warm contrast to a cold and gloomy exterior. And one of the most attractive things to do when it is cold outside, I find, is to curl up inside with a mug of something hot and a book that I am enjoying. If you're looking for a sweet winter romance, then I've just the thing! Just published this week, 'A Winter Connection' is available on Amazon now. It features a jilted bride, a handsome Australian vet, and a few crazy animals too! Hope you enjoy.
Happy New Year!
