[riverdresses] finds that maybe very little, at least to her slightly cosseted eyes, is as lovely as her seven-mile candyfloss sky world is at post-rain . . . autumnal sunset. It's a night for hot tea, a viewing of Withnail & I, & writing. A double-looped scarf & jumper set for her mind. what makes up YOUR mind's double-looped scarf & jumper sets? She's curious!

I wrote that through the late afternoon to the early evening on my Twitter & realised that it would be a lovely thing to include in the third issue of my zine, riverdresses.

Basically, I want to know, as I said, what comforts you on cold days?

What makes up your happiest moments?

If you could, what would be the ideal things for your ideal autumnal/springy/summery/wintry days & nights?

In the darkest nights, on the coldest, stormiest days, what makes up the ideal scarf & jumper (sweater, for you non-Brits reading this!) set for your mind?

I would adore as many submissions as I could get - submit more than once if you like! - & if I get quite a few, I'll move this idea into the fourth issue of riverdresses, or make it a regular feature, possibly. Just leave me your preferred moniker/nom de plume/name so I can add it in properly!

Also, feel free to spread this around to anyone else you think would like to add something! The more, the merrier! (& I confess, I'm just dying to know some of your responses! I'll be sharing my own as well, so don't think I'll just be sitting & watching you all!)

(p.s. you totally don't have to answer all of them like that - have fun & be creative, darlings!)

Being, as I am, from a country known for its long wintertime, Norway, I'm definitely familiar with the concept of cold days, hee.

Lit tealights, hot drinks, family and friends are all pretty much vital to getting through the 6 or-so months of darkness here up north. Norwegian winters are long, and the sun pretty much disappears for several months, with only a few sparse hours of cold daylight. Personally I love this time of year, because after braving the cold, I get to go home and cuddle up inside with blankets and coffee and a good movie.

My favorite purple/black striped scarf if a necessity these days, it's long and warm and comfy. :D Couldn't be without it!
