It felt pretty cold to me today, which got me thinking about winter. Admittedly it’s not most people’s favourite season, but I like many things about it. I also like spurious lists, so here is the official TLC guide to 10 things I like about winter:
- Spending more time with Mr TLC (less cycling for him in winter weather)
- Snuggling up in front of the fire
- Eating stews and casseroles
- Going out for a walk on a frosty day
- Coming inside out of the cold and warming up
- Our ginger cat being at home instead of living outdoors
- Doing the Christmas shopping
- Drinking hot chocolate
- The beautiful colours of evergreen shrubs and dogwoods in the garden
- A winter flowering viburnum bursting into a mass of pink blooms
Simple pleasures to savour all the winter long.
Nice to make your acquaintance TLC. But…
Noooooo, not number 7!!!
One cannot seriously like engaging in the FOTCR™ can one? 😉
Aah, you’ve got me there, it’s a tough one to justify!
Although I did persuade my sister to buy me 40 chickens and a supply of seeds last year. (Or was that a bad combination? Did the chickens eat the seeds?)
