What is Nice When the Weather is Not

By Laura Yates on Sep 6, 08 08:23 PM

As the year's most miserable day draws to an end I'm reminded of how nice it is to be in a lovely warm home when the weather is naff.

The Boy came in from playing with his friends, dripping wet and freezing cold; he went straight away to put on nice dry things, then drank a tasty mug of hot milk while we all watched TV.

I've put the heating on for the first time in ages - I loved fishing the freshly washed Billy the Kid out of the bath and wrapping a lovely warm, soft towel round him, and dressing him in a nice, clean, toasty warm baby-grow fresh from the radiator. (Taking care the press-studs weren't too hot.)

And later on with kids in bed, there's no where I'd rather be when it's bucketing down than snuggled up on the settee with the Other Half and a mug of hot chocolate.

Hmmm... I am officially old!

Actually I've made a mistake here, my apologies, you are not a TOG, you are a TYG.
