What little things make you feel cosy / content?

[RevolvingPivot]

It's cold and dark out. I have my candies lit for the first time in months and the heating is on. I feel I'm missing something??

Dark nights with my candles on and heating on. Sitting watching a family film then nice newly washed sheets on the bed. God I’m getting old lol 😆

On a simple level - a cup of tea!

I Loveeeee Autumn/winter! I do enjoy summer but I get bored of it very quickly as i like the routine and calmness (is that even a word) of winter. I DO NOT like the illnesses that DS is about to start bringing home from school though!

My favourite autumn/winter night would be...fluffy socks, cosy pyjamas, dressing gown, cup of tea, peice of carrot cake and a snuggle on the sofa with DS and a cosy blanket. I also love daytime, being wrapped up in hat and scarf, nice and warm in a thick coat but having a nice walk and breathing in the lovely cold fresh air.

Smell of baking. Or toast.
The children all sleepy at the table while I make breakfast for them. None of us are morning people so it’s all really quite. Just smell of toast and coffee and their content little sighs. That is, until dh makes an appearance singing, slamming cupboards. Etc.

In the evening when it's dark out and I'm on the sofa in my PJs, dressing gown, fluffy throw over me and a cat curled up purring on my lap while I drink a cup of tea.

Can't believe I've been using the fluffy throw in August!

Cup of tea.
Fluffy dressing gowns.
Foot masks/face masks.
Candles.
Yankee candles.

I love this thread!
But heating on in August is unthinkable, are you in the Shetland Islands or something? Here in Berkshire it’s forecast to be 20 degrees still all week.

Midlands here. Goes up to 18 today but is about 14 right now. Had heating on the last 5 or so days now.

Getting wood split and organised for the upcoming autumn/winter.

Completely clean and tidy room, fire going, sidelights or candles, romcom on TV and snuggling up on the sofa with my DH and my dog with a nice cup of tea by my side.

I’m on a Swiss mountain here and although it’s been noticeably cooler first thing (5C at 6AM), I’m currently sitting outside in full sunshine and borderline sweating!

Our main heating is a wood fireplace and we’re going to see how far into September we get before needing to lit it.

Cozy for me is a thick blanket of snow (but with no more forecast so I don’t have to shovel it in the morning), big fire, heated blanket, lights on low, book and a hot drink, with the cat lying somewhere near (but not on me, he’s 10+ kg of Maine Coon and sends your legs to sleep!)

Fluffy socks, light the fire, light my lamps and candles, clean fluffy blanket, fluffy dog to cuddle!

Freshly showered, fresh pyjamas, clean sheet and duvet cover, lots of soft blankets, lots of cats and it’s raining outside. Heaven 🥰🥰🥰

Watching The Golden Girls. Warms me from the inside out.

It’s 27 degrees here. Heating not usually on until November.
I do like a blanket on the sofa and a cup of tea and watching the Chase. I am now officially really really old.

Badedas bubble bath, snuggle in front of the telly with DH and a blanket. Takeaway and cups of tea. I love salt lamp and fairy lights too.

Sitting in my chair, having had a shower and in clean lounge wear, with a cuppa and some crochet while TV is on.

This thread is making me feel cosy

Wax melter, lamp on, cosy blanket and my pjs on either reading or watching a tv show.

I’m in Scotland it’s definitely chillier in the mornings but not enough to put the heating on. My thermostat still reads 19 degrees inside

Fluffy socks, lighting my woodburner for the first time when winter comes. Drinking hot chocolate and sitting reading a book, without any telly on all evening, and my three cats all sprawled out near my fire.

I don't have candles about, as at one time, one of my cats wafted around near a candle near the hearth, and almost set her tail on fire wafting over the flame.

In North Wales here and the thermostat tripped this morning to put the heating on. It's set for 18oC so it must have dropped below.. IT's a bit of a grey old day.
