Hot cocoa? Check. Warm blankets? Check. Good books? Check.

How beautiful, Tim! Thanks so much. It is so dry here, and I've been longing for a bit of snow. You couldn't have timed it better.

Ooh, that place looks absolutely perfect. Reminds me very much of scenes from Howl's Moving Castle... Sophie and TurnipHead hanging out the laundry...

I shall sneak away there every afternoon to work on my revisions.
