Most beautiful day of winter

IMG_2294

Tomorrow, according to people who make claims like these, will be the shortest day of the year. At 5.30 am, the December solstice will take place. Well.

I am somewhat more concerned about today. It was, beautiful? And warm. I witnessed a lovely sunset and decided, this had to be the most beautiful day of winter in Oxford, since… I’ve experienced British cold, dark, gloom.

Today also marked the end of a fortnight where I have been good at staying (financially) prudent (and will continue to be, not much of a choice here), so I decided I could reward myself to a very good little piece of brownie and a very good cup of coffee. Because, it was the most beautiful day of winter. I walked down the street to Oxfork, in what appeared to be my PJs, and sat in its 3 pm quietness. Although this is sounding all too romantic, I would like to assure you it was very much real.

How long does a beautiful day last? Things go wrong, as they could do, even on beautiful days. I return home to emails that make me a little sad; there is nothing left in my fridge; the Eagle Creek decides to tear, hours before getting on a plane.

But, the most beautiful day of winter, I say.
