Also like doing crafty stuff, knitting, teaching myself to crochet (not going well), just learnt how to use my sewing machine.

And, of course, there’s Halloween and bonfire night to add the fun, then Christmas, then a daughter’s birthday and then it’s February, which I don’t mind because it’s so short and in March the daffodils start popping up.

Am planning to cosy up our sitting room this year and snuggle down to watching some films that actually I’d like to watch (for a change).

Oh (last thing, promise), when it’s frosty, which it was a lot last winter, love going out with my camera.

The bit about hibernation rings true. I was on a call last week and found myself writing that over and over again in my notes. No-one had said it – just an internal reaction, or an expression of what it is that I need.

Thank you for the reminder!
