Inspire me with lovely ideas for winter

[Thinkingg]

The nights are drawing in and I'm trying to approach this winter with a positive mindset. What small things are you looking forward to?

I like a walk in the countryside on a crisp cold day.

Want to learn some more cooking, might buy some crumpet rings as I've never made them before.

Irish cream over ice
More red wine
Lighting more candles
Stormy nights
Christmas films
Blankets
Log fire
Christmas decorations
Lobscouse
Smell of coal fire burning

Snow!

Forgot snow!

Oh yes, candles! Had to Google lobscouse, never heard of that before!

Oh lobscouse is a must! Been brought up on the stuff, cheap and cheerful and good for you.

Rainy Sundays. Go for a walk in the morning then come back to soup for lunch and snuggle under a blanket to watch a film on the afternoon. Even better in December with a Hallmark Crappy Christmas film!

Lots of dinners in the slow cooker.

Not much help if you’re not on the coast but I love the beach more in the winter than in the summer.

Last thing, lots of opportunity to take some great photos. Autumn and winter makes for some great dramatic scenery.

That's a good one. I bought a camera over the summer, so look forward to trying out some autumn misty shots.

I am hoping to find some different festivals to brighten up the winter. Had Oktoberfest this weekend. Halloween, yule tide, Christmas, Chinese New Year, open to other suggestions. Celebrations mainly just revolve around food!

Good walk to a country pub for lunch.
