It's alright Winter

the beautiful little dam on the Constantia turnoff M3

Winter solstice has just passed, but not a sign of  her surrender,

more like a renewed attack.... we could barely see the road.

But I'm smiling, two sweet words-  School holidays.

Three delicious weeks, no waking before the birds, only the occasional job, my clever clients have migrated to sun drenched destinations

I see my future and its three cosy weeks with my tower of books, slow-cooking, board games, card games, a TV series or two and a few brisk winter walks to collect pine cones for the fire.

Our celebratory lunch, homemade pizzas, a glass of chenin blanc....now to get a spot in front of the fire.

overladen pizza!
