This makes it official!

When I look out of my window, the weather is deceptively sunny. But when I go outdoors, I discover the reality of approaching winter: which means that some days it's really cold and windy, despite the sunshine… and on other, not so windy days, it's actually warmer outdoors that it is inside the house. Yes, winter's been on the way for a while, but I guess that yesterday made it official - in our house, at least. Yesterday I had to make the first wood fire of the season. My three house mates confirmed the winter verdict by choosing to spend the day snuggled on chairs by the fireplace instead of lounging outside on the window sill as they've been doing for the past six months!
