not quite narnia

Photos from a winter weekend: Lots of walking in the snow in wellington boots, a trip to the Booth museum and some under-blanket crochet.

Yesterday felt a lot like wintertime to me. This may have been because I only managed to stir myself from my slumber at almost two in the afternoon (hibernation?), but it was also a nice crisp cold day.

There's also something about going to the shops while it is getting dark that makes things feel very festive. I think I am ready now. Bring on the chocolate coins!

While I was in the mood to embrace the Christmas spirit I bought an advent candle for our mantlepiece, and a little potted Cyclamen to bring some red and green to our coffee table. Sweet flowers!

Ho ho ho!

winter treat / warm feet

I'd like to thank Miss Okuda for donating me the warmest socks I've ever put on my feet. Lovely! I'm planning to put some leather soles on them so that they won't get worn away.

On Friday Yumi also taught me the art of gyoza making - yum yum yum!
