winter

I love winter in this country. It is dark at 4.30pm and it all feels so cuddly-there is absolutely no guilt in snuggling down at home with the knitting needles and a pot of tea. All the blankets I have made are in use and knitting is a perfectly reasonable use of time.
I also love Christmas -as a Jew is is totally stress free-for me it means buying last minute food at the Supermarket-who cares what and watching loads of good tele. We also act as a support service for non Jewish friends who tend to make calls or visit when the extended family gets too much.
I find the whole time quite magical-in my opinion when you are cold you can get warm with more clothes but when I am hot and bothered there is buggar all I can do. Besides knitting in the heat is a little challenging.
So my beloved readers eat, knit, blob and enjoy!
