Best Thing about Winter?
Other
With the nights getting darker and weather changing, what's your favourite thing about the winter.
Mine is the cosy evening spent with family snuggled at home.
Mine is booking my next cruise and getting away from the cold. We are off to the Caribbean next Friday then the Canaries in December.
Heating is expensive but hoodies and blankets are not.I love to snuggle.A good book a warm stew and a good film especially when shared with a loved one and a favorite pet.
MelissaLee1 cute gif I agree with you I always wear layers and hoodies and jackets to keep warm and thick socks have to get out my throw, can’t believe how cold it is! Especially in the mornings!
kitty88uk ...Walked from my Sat 8.30 am- Sunday 8.30am shift to join my friend & some of her family yesterday at Mass at our church..
It was absolutely FREEZING inside, even the Deacon joked about putting the heating on for next Sunday, the usual Priest has gone to India & no one knew how to turn the heating on according to my friend who helps out at the church!
janphoenix51 omg oh no! No one at at did not know how to turn on the heating?! Omg hope you all were all okay! Remember to dress warmly with a scarf for next time just in case! I was hanging clothes out to dry Sunday lol so freezing had to hang laundry out to fry them as much as possible then hang in patio or in rooms to dry
Didn’t need to put mine in dryer lol
kitty88uk ....I had a good quality M & S thermal long sleeve top on, a thickish t shirt, a hoodie & my Trespass Raincoat on!
My friend's mum had a thermal vest. Jumper & padded coat on & she was absolutely freezing as we're my friend & her son who were dressed for the cold weather too
We ended up going across the road for hot drinks & food after Mass...
janphoenix51 yeah I have thermal tops bought a few years ago from Sainsbury’s but cause I have worn them a lot they have shrunk lol
I’m wearing one over a thin long sleeve top and also wearing a jacket now
Tomorrow and Friday it’s sunny weather again May go out and walk down to local costa coffee as I have free Diet Coke on the app should have went yesterday but cold and rainy
MelissaLee1 I absolutely love your comment. I always try blankets, hoodies etc before the heating being put on, it just makes more sense to me lol. I also love to read and snuggle up. It's very cold all of a sudden xx
Our sons birthday! He always gets so excited for it and loves helping to plan his party. I also love snuggling up under blankets and lots of layers. Also being able to drink hot chocolate, although not too often as its bad for my waistline!
I love having a lie in on the weekends particularly when it's cold and frosty outside. I also like the build up to Christmas.
Nothing good about winter, kids can't play out, kids bringing colds from school and passing it onto me lol I hate winter
martinlufc5637 I agree with kids spreading germs, I'm constantly catching something because of my low immune system, kids seem to be OK pretty quickly too lol do you like the build up to Christmas? Xx
lealea3000 yeah I've had 2 colds in a month, takes weeks to recover and kids a few days lol
Same, fire on, and a good film. Also I like the crisp mornings and the scenery of the frost
Wrapping up warmly and going for a long walks along the beach. After the walk getting in the car and heating up the car seats. Also like having hot chocolate drinks.
I’m definitely more of a summer outdoors person but there is something to a winter’s sunday afternoon at home with the fire on.
jms19 I'm more of an end of summer early autumn person, my have my favourite bit about each season xx
This might be quite unpopular but I love the cold, can't stand the heat, always prefer the cold weather
kitty88uk you open the windows in the evening to let the heat out, it's hard at first but you also have to keep curtains pulled during the day and open them up for an hour or so in the evening. Xx
lealea3000 is that so, I forgot about this until you relied back lol so late reply back from you
Wrapping up for a nice walk on a crisp day and coming home and making lovely hots chocolates.
Best thing about winter is when it's over and spring arrives. Not a fan of winter to be honest. It's cold and wet
Yes I don’t like the cold and dark. The best thing is knowing it will end and looking forward to spring. Try to just get through it keeping as cosy and warm as possible.
I love to get warm and cosy, with electric blanket and throw. I”ll be back from holiday soon enough so am used to the heat and so my comforts will definitely be needed .
Drinking Baileys Hot Chocolate by a roaring fire snuggled up with the people you love...Can't beat it...
janphoenix51 I have actually never tried it but was thinking about trying it yesterday. I think I'll definitely have to try this xx
I do enjoy a winter walk, the air is crisp and fresh and the views can be beautiful plus it helps stop you sweating as much on a long walk. If you take a flask of coffee with you, you really appreciate the stops when you have a cup of coffee and enjoy the views. I'm not keen on rain on a very cold day though but clear skies and cold is fine.
BonzoBanana ....I LOVE a autumn walk, crisp leaves crunching beneath your feet, all the GORGEOUS colours...
I always carry my flask of Coffee with me, spring, summer, autumn & winter, I have taken it to my partner's brother 's Wedding on 15.12.22 also the person I used care for after 's funeral!
Making and eating homemade soup.... I make it thick and chunky....
And hibinating with my books too.....xx
Nothing really expensive bills to keep warm.
Can't live without heating in my home.
But I like eating nuts in the winter since they are a warm food and especially fish and chips and samosas
