Ten on Tuesday

My cousin who inspired me to start a blog always does Ten on Tuesday,  an idea I think that she too stole from someone else so I didn't think she'd mind me pinching it :)

I think I'm going to do a different 'Ten' every week (or every Tuesday that I remember to do this)

So this week is going to be 10 things that I love about the Winter. I always try to find the positive in things so rather than moaning about the weather I'm going to name 10 things that make Winter absolutely awesome!


1. My husband - My husband makes everything absolutely awesome all the time, not just Winter but in the Winter I love staying indoors with him, getting all snuggled up and watching Sci-fi and Christmas films.

2. Rain - What I love about rain is that when you're on your way home and it starts to hammer down, you know that there is no way you are going to stay dry so you might as well get completely wet and enjoy it. I can sometimes be found running along in the rain, grinning from ear to ear getting completely soaked and feeling rather invigorated for it. (As long as there is a towel and a cup of tea at the other end)

3. Heating - I love the heating, it makes me warm.

4. Christmas - Obviously, what's not to like about Christmas, there's Carols, lots of singing, children smiling, lots of chocolate, tinsel, lots of presents, buying presents, receiving presents, wrapping presents, seeing all the family. Christmas,  It's all good!

5. Not going to work for a few weeks - I really enjoy my job I do but I enjoy holidays more :)

6. Seeing my friends - I don't know whether it's because it's near the end of the year and therefore this makes me more reflective about the year that has been and the start of a new year etc... but I always appreciate seeing my friends more in the winter and I make more of an effort to see my friends that I don't get to see so much throughout the rest of the year

7. Films - There are always cool films out in the winter. I love Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy the most and there always seems to be more of this type of films out at the cinema at Christmas time.

8. Eating - In the winter I enjoy more food than I normally would and getting a little bit fat without caring as much because 'my body needs it' to keep warm ;)

9. Magic - For me, life seems more magical in the winter. Maybe because it's just more sparkly.

10. New Year - The end of one year, taking stock, saying Thank you for some things, goodbye to others and the start of a New Year, making plans, moving on and looking forward.


I love Winter.
