Made Me Happy This Week

{look at those leaves!}

I don't know about you, but at this time of year I can't help but feeling tired all the time -it happens ever year, even when I'm not doing all that much. I'm putting it down to the fact that the nights get dark so much earlier with the clocks going back, and much like jet lag I think it takes time to get in sync with it all. My brain just seems to think "it's dark now -bedtime" even earlier in the evening. I'm sure I'll be back to normal by next week and enjoying the dark evenings to the fullest, but for now I'll continue to enjoy naps seeing as normally I don't enjoy them at all.

1. Looking through the vast amount of Christmas magazines that are currently taking over our house. Even though I very rarely buy anything from them I really like having them around.

2. The John Lewis Christmas advert was released this morning and that makes me really happy because it's one of those things that kind of kick of the season each year. Even though, I have to say I don't love this one quite as much, for me it will always be the snowmen and penguins.

3. Leftover treats. It's lovely to have little treats in when you feel like something mid-afternoon with tea, and even better when they've come from a very tasty afternoon tea.

4. Warm baths on cold evenings, even though I do need to stock up on some lush bath bombs.

5. Walking around beautiful Edinburgh, which is made even more beautiful by the multi colored leaves everywhere. Christmas may be the most wonderful time of year, but autumn is definitely the most beautiful.

6. Hot chocolate...it's that time of year again my friends.

7. Tea and hot buttered crumpets -in other words, the meal I would eat for the rest of my life!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
