Sunday Safari - Sleepyheads

Emma & Tina on the duvet

Today the sun was out and we went for a beautiful walk by the river, but otherwise I have been mostly 

chilling in the wind and the rain or staying indoors. The most pleasurable moments are usually in the evenings, 

when we all snuggle up in bed for hours with our winter stash of chocolates, books, tea, music and movies. 

I wish safe, cozy and warm winter nights to all you sleepy creatures out there, under the blankets or the stars.
