Through the window…

“Winter always brings me a whole host of comforts, and if you’ve ever read Katherine May’s beautiful book Wintering you’ll know what I’m talking about. I love many things about winter, including walking through town in the dark, just around teatime, especially if I catch a glimpse through someone’s front window?

Maybe it’s just me…

I don’t want to look, and I’m definitely not a nosey parker, but my eyes glance involuntarily sideways as something invites me in… a twinkly Christmas tree, a cosy fire, someone reading a book snuggled up in a corner, the dinner table laid for two, a dog fast asleep in his bed.

What I see through the window is only a fraction of the story of the person living in the house, yet my mind begins to imagine the life they might inhabit.
