With the dark days of winter coming upon us and world and weather behaving badly it is easy to get down in the dumps.

Lets look for little bits and bobs to make the day a wee bit brighter.



Winter is cold.        

That's why sheep have wool throw on a jumper. Grab a warm coat a scarf and mittens and head out for a walk to see all the beautiful skeleton leaves and smell the crisp clean air.


Winter is wet.        

That's why children splash in puddles put on your wellingtons go outside and look for puddles. So what if you get wet that's what towels were invented for. Jump in a puddle look at the water dashing away from you. Or re enact the scene from singing in the rain, so what if they think you are mad are they smiling? I bet you are

Winter is dark.        

That's why we have hearths build up the fire         find a warm fluffy blanket a good book and a steaming mug of hot chocolate and enjoy some snuggle time.
