Autumnal chill

The nights are drawing in. Darkness greets us at either end of the day - although those "either ends" are getting closer together each and every day that passes.

We are getting enormous pleasure from lighting the stove in the evening. It's easy to imagine a bygone era when technology wasn't so intrusive and long, cold nights were spent gathered around the fire.

I yearn for that simplicity. And for Starbucks.... (juxtaposition much?)

I think someone keeps checking to see if it's still warm :)
