My Home Comforts

It is never to early to put on your PJ's or stay in them. My niece loves being in her PJs all day at the weekend and I loved this too, but when I did I would feel some sort of guilt. It made me feel that it was a waste of a day and was bought up to believe that mornings were about getting up, making your bed, getting dressed, brush your teeth and go out, but there are days I don't want to go out and indoors reading, writing and spending time watching TV with my son.

I love seeing the clouds and sky turn from daytime to night especially during the Winter

Yet looking back as a kid I am glad that I didn't always stay indoors because I loved the weekends. We were always socialising and would go to see a friend, see my grandparents, watch my brother play football, I would be at dancing school and so my brother did judo and I lived a very sociable life. 

Now, I have a few or at least one or two days a week indoors or an afternoon indoors, as I love going on morning walks. It's a bit hard at the moment to walk, because my son Henry, likes to take the bus, but like to have break in the afternoon, so my first Home Comfort, which I do in the morning and evenings too, is having a Cup of Tea. 

I do like coffee but I like to go out for one. I tried a new Flavored Latte called Nutcracker in Costas and is lovely. 

A second home comfort is having a magazine to read. I have just got back to buying a magazine and so want to buy another magazine to read and when Henry has his lessons, as he will have a tutor, whilst we await for a place to be available at a Secondary School, is to read a magazine in a coffee shop. 

Then there is clothes. I like to put on my jogger bottoms and a jumper. I like to watch a documentary or a concert. I am into the Celebrity Traitors and like to have a nice cup of tea and write along with a biscuit too. Not trying to do this too much as I am starting to be a bit more of a lunch girl and avoiding having a snack. I enjoy food and mix it up, by having a McDonalds or a pastry, just not all the time.

I like to watch sport and I love my radio show. I like to plan meals and will be Christmas shopping soon but will think about this at the beginning of December.

Have a blissful life and feel you have to over do it. I like to take my time and focus on my mornings, then the afternoon and then the evening as it comes, with a bit of a structure and take a break from a to do list and pleasing other people. 

So what are your Home Comforts? I will be adding this blog post on my Winter Wellness Programme that starts today and it is all about having a better Winter if you dread this time of year and enjoy it more.
