It really feels like christmas season today. I can almost taste the roasted chestnuts and gluwein on my tongue.The frosty mornings and christmas lights are in full swing.Everyone is broke but happy. I'm not usually a very christmassy person but this year feels different...
I hope it snows.There is nothing more cosy than sitting by an open fire and watching the snow elegantly covering it's surroundings outside.Christmas should be about decadence and love.

I am craving hot golden brown pancakes with lemon juice, cinnamon and brown treacle sugar.To finish off the whole experience, I would love to be hugged.You know one of those big bear hugs that last for what seems like an eternity and where both bodies are pressed deep into one another.Nothing beats a proper hug.I love those spontaneous one's too, that catch you by suprise.The one's given by loved ones just because they want to let you know how special you are to them.

I always think of magical creatures in winter time.Maybe it stems from all the narnia books.Another absolute favourite child hood book collection was The magic Faraway Tree.Wow! With characters like moon face who gave you toffees which would grow biggerthe more you sucked them, then eventually it would explode in your mouth leaving nothing but air.Silky who baked hot biscuits that you would bite into and honey would pour into your mouth. At the top of the tree was a porthole into various differnt lands...like the topsy turvey land where everything is upside down...anyway if you haven't read it, you SHOULD!

ahoy!
