I'm
reminded on this crisp autumnal day how much I love this time of year. The
freshness in the air, crispy brown leaves crushing beneath my feet and pumpkin
lattes. Although I’m a black coffee kinda girl but my friend introduced me to these
coffees when I visited her in America.
It makes
me excited to bring out my hot water bottle and drink hot chocolate beside the
log fire and curl up with a book. Candles burning, leaving the scents of toffee
apples and spices.
Don’t
get me wrong I love the sun, and I adore sitting out in it or swimming in the
pool and drinking cold Chardonnay. However there’s something very comforting
about the cool air, winter sweaters, thick woolly socks, jeans and a glass of
warming Shiraz.
I
usually start collecting my ingredients for my Christmas cake, it should be
made at least before the end of October but somehow I always seem to be rushing
around in November and icing it on Christmas Eve.
My
winter pansies are in bloom and the colours are sensational I love to have that
splash of colour as everything is perishing in the colder weather these are blossoming.
I’m
super busy at the moment with work and writing. I have three short Christmas
stories coming out in November and I’m excited for these to be released. It
seems like the year has flown and I wonder did I miss some of it as it passed
me by, it seems the older I get the faster it goes. I wish I had a pause button
just so I could catch my breath!
