NEW YEAR, NEW ESCAPADES

by today my way - Friday, January 22, 2016

It is cold around here now but let me tell you a tale about the warmest winter in years. It begins with hats but that's all one would grab at the door before heading out. The sun shines since early morning driving those behind the steering wheels crazy and only strong breeze from the continent reminds us of the season. It is still green in parks and men are wearing shorts with their warm jackets. Women are spotted with no socks underneath their ankle boots and children go wearing the entirety of their wardrobe or barely a pair of booties in their overstuffed prams. This winter makes us behave as unique as one feels brave to be. If you're asking about our household and our share in reaping the best of what's in the air - we are walking representatives of the season, we're playing by the rules and believe it or not, we know what we're doing. But occasionally even the thickest garments have to go in order to move those limbs freely and ecstatically in the open, to bend, run, throw sand back to the sea and no one regrets it.

And here's my personal theory about hanging out at the seaside if you have a minute (relatives optional) - if you want to approach it ignoring the weather forecast but prefer to still enjoy it no matter how long you intend to stay, overdressing is probably the safest way to it. The smartest. And the bravest as you'll be the only one stopped and asked if you got lost and need to take it easy while so bundled up. Never mind my poor seasonal clothing choices, we haven't seen a snot or a warm forehead in lunar cycles so mama has to do something right. Have a great weekend and stay happy no matter how warm you are.
