A Winter of Comfort

That winter solstice really creeps up on you. We're all so wrapped up in our last minute Christmas preparations that the shortest day slips past as an after thought. It's only now, now that the madness is more or less over, now that the temperatures have dropped and the fog is settling in the mornings, that we realise winter is really here.If there's one thing we need in winter, it's comfort. Whether it's a dish of something sloppy and slow cooked to dip your bread into, a big fluffy jumper or a good cup of tea and a book, these short cold days demand a little cosiness. But comfort isn't just about things. These limbo days after Christmas quickly have me craving the comfort of routine - not necessarily of work, but of routine and actually knowing what day it is. Comfort is little rituals, familiarities and nostalgia.So this winter, we're focusing on comfort here on Simple & Season. We'll be going on a Tea Journey with Jing Tea, learning about the rituals of tea drinking and discovering new varieties. We'll be cooking and eating, learning new crafts and taking comfort from routines and goals.What would you like to see more of on Simple & Season this year?More food, more adventures and days out ideas, more reads or crafts? More self discovery and inspiration? Maybe something that's not  already part of the blog? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments?
