A beautiful post Lyndsay, so lovely to read your winter stories - it reminded me of so many moments of joy that I did have over winter, despite me telling anyone who will listen how hard I've found this winter! Love how your daughter was an enthusiastic angel in hr nativity, seeing your kids perform is so heartwarming and emotional. Like your garden, we also have the pale yellow primroses now, around our apple tree and I've noticed more purple crocuses in the garden this year too. The daffodils are nearly in bloom too. Always love your writing Lyndsay.

Ah thank you Jenna, so glad it became a mirror for your own small winter stories. I hear/see you though, winter isn’t easy, I hope you are ok and able to trust we are coming out the other side. Yes the nativity was so heart-swelling! Ah I love the sound of primroses and crocuses surrounding your apple tree. And yes to nearly having daffodils in bloom, I was hoping for them in time for yesterday but I don’t think they are far off. A belated Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus to you 💛 xx

This is such a beautiful ode to this season, and it’s been so full of magic from your wonderful reflections! This winter has definitely been about befriending the darkness a little more for me… sometimes that has been very welcome and sometimes I’ve resisted it. But I feel like it’s been a season of depth… it doesn’t really feel fully over yet for some reason… perhaps because of my own inner current season, but I don’t feel the readiness for springing out just yet!

Ah thank you L, the beauty can be subtle in winter but deeper somehow?? It is good to hear you have befriended the darkness this year, I have felt a bit more comfortable with it too. Yes to the depths of it all. And yes, despite the very welcome sunshine and light, I think you are right, I am sure winter is not fully over, we will likely be dancing with ‘winterspring’ for a while yet! A slow emergence is probably what is required xx

So funny! We love Beigel Bake and Rinkoff’s has been on my list for so long. I’ll get there one day!

Ha! Beigel Bake is so good. We ended up stocking up on a load of plain bagels and freezing them this time, they’re still bringing much joy! And Rinkoff’s yes, quite unassuming but laden in history and delicious! xx
