I love that we can start eating hearty soups and casseroles again, with baked potatoes done in the AGA and fruit crumbles for dessert. I really love warm flannel pajamas and hand-knitted socks and snuggling down in bed in an ever so slightly chilly bedroom, but swathed in a snuggly duvet and plenty of quilts. I love hot baths.<\/p>\n<p>As I get older I have learned to recognize the signs.

I guess I&#8217;ve finally learned to listen to myself and say no. And to wallow in hunkering down in the warmth and cosiness that is home.<\/p>\n<p>I love my home.
