Darryl Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just sitting here listening to the wind and the rain outside - it makes me wish I still had a wood heater.What do you like to do in the colder months? I generally go into complete slug mode, and love every minute of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonMyrtle Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I like to eat, and drink wine, and turn the heater up to 23I also don’t mind going to the beach, as long as our accommodation has a fireplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Caramel Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I just cast on my first knitting project for the winter on Sunday. Nothing better than snuggling up for a few hours with the fire going, a nice movie on, hot cuppa and my knitting. I am an 80 year old woman trapped in a 38 year old body!

Fruitmincepies Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Oh yes, nothing better than sitting in bed listening to the wind and rain, tucked up with a book and a cup of tea. I also quite like a walk along the beach when there is a storm coming, blasts every cobweb out of you. But being Perth, there are plenty of sunny days for doing things. Autumn is lovely - we were at the beach swimming last weekend and it looks like we will be doing the same again this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seayork2002 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 We try and get to the beach in winter, sometimes the water feels warmer than in summer.Go and stay up the blue mountains for the weekend a few times each winter.For me personally be more lazy than normal and eat more than in summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannySmith Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I love beach walks in wild weather. Actually I love the beach way more in winter than summer. I also love tucking up inside and drinking red wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudiaCosette Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I like visiting the mountains or countryside in winter. I will say that because I'm in Brisbane, winter here probably doesn't count for a lot of you. It's too hot to be outside for a lot of the summer, so I use winter to take the kids out to parks quite often. In a real winter (i.e. snow) I love tobogganing, although I may be a bit too old for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ker Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Staying inside, listening to the rain with a hot drink and reading. Especially when it's a grey and rainy weekend day. I LOVE winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne Bonny Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Well, the sun finally stops feeling like an assault so it's time to get out and about and have picnics, barbies, bushwalks and maybe go to the beach. .Also eating fruit toast. All the fruit toast. Even better if it's done over a fire pit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie28 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Knitting. But it’s also my favourite summer, autumn and spring pastime....I also like to make fruitcake and have port as a nightcap in winter. And I also buy new boots and coats almost every year...to go with the knitted scarves, cowls, hats and socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillFreddiesMum Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Using the slow cooker and making dinner at 10 in the morning to serve at 6 at night, so the whole house smells yummy during the day. Baking. Being inside and just listening to the rain / weather outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
