I’m starting a new series on the blog…Top 10’s!  This series will be a list of 10 things and will cover all manner of subjects and will be posted each thursday!  To kick off the series today I’m posting a list of the top 10 things to do when it’s cold…

1. Go for a walk.  Bundle yourself up in your warmest clothes and coat and, so long as the weather is dry and cold, go for a walk somewhere.
2. Visit a Cafe.  Go to a local cafe and order a hot drink, sit in the window and people watch for an hour.
3. Read a book.  Make yourself cozy with a hot chocolate and a blanket, curl up on the sofa and read a good book.
4. Take a long, hot bath.  Run a lovely hot bath, use your favorite bath products and treat yourself to a lovely pamper session.
5. Watch a film.  Invite friends over, stock up on snacks and watch a feel good film.
6. Stay in your pjs all day.  Or better still, warm up nice fresh ones on the radiator and put them on.
7. Catch up on your favorite shows.  Or start watching a series you have been wanting to watch.
8. Do some gardening.  Put on some old clothes, layer up and get out into the garden and do some tidying and pruning if the day is dry.
9. Start a Jigsaw.  It’s a fab way to spend time, and there is a sense of accomplishment in finishing one too.
10. Visit a local pub for food.  Go out and treat yourself to dinner in a local pub (not a chain one though – a traditional village type pub!).
