Ever since I first read this, back in December, I have been wanting to comment because I need to say a huge THANK YOU to you. This is my exact experience of Winter - the clothes, the cold, the chilblains, the noise of everyone being inside more, the wanting to go out but being terrified of falling if it's icy.
Everyone here on Substack (or at least from what I have seen) seem to absolutely love Autumn and Winter and, I'm embarrassed to admit, but sometimes it fills me with an irrational amount of anger because I find it so hard. I know I need to work on that but it was so wonderful to find someone who sees it how I see it.
I am glad you are now getting to enjoy the Australian summer. I will persevere through the British winter, awaiting the beautiful Spring.
In Australia where I live, a lot of houses (including ours) have reverse cycle split system units - they do heat & cooling :) It is summer here now, but I wrote this piece in winter.
This was all so familiar to me, thank you for sharing! ❤️
You're welcome! ✨
