I’m sitting in my kitchen, a pot of coffee by my side and the remnants of yesterday’s passion fruit and saffron creme caramel taunting me (I’ve already convinced myself that it is an acceptable breakfast, so should probably put it away before it becomes an acceptable lunch).

When I was younger, I wanted to race through the colder months and get them out the way. However, I’ve learned to love this quieter quarter. To hibernate and replenish my energy, spend time in my kitchen with the radio on. Just peace and quiet and eating.
