Embracing the rain is something I had to learn too living in the Netherlands. I have to say honestly with a good raincoat and good waterproof shoes I don't mind the rain as much.

Haha yes it took me a few years to learn too 😂. Now I even have waterproof rain pants to bike in the rain. Looks terrible but it works perfectly

Love, love, love. But tbh you could write your shopping list and I'd lap it up.

This filled me with all the good feels and I hope your new job is going well <3

A favourite for me this month has been early nights. Sometimes as early as 8pm. My body clearly needs it, and I've been hunkering down in bed with a candle and Kindle for approx 10 mins before I'm out for the count.

Love that! I’m in Yorkshire and barely emerge in the rain (grew up in Florida and Georgia and live in Germany before I came back to the UK) besides going to cafes and the like but maybe I do just need better (or actual waterproof) clothes. 🤣 I cannot wait for spring and I felt so giddy the other day when the sun shone through the window in a crisp blue sky. 🫶🏻 That afternoon tea place sounds amazing!
