I like the cold. I really do. I like bundling up in hats and scarves and jackets, preparing for a blustery adventure. I love huddling close to friends on walks back to warm kitchens, and the tea and fireplaces that warm you up once you get there. I think ice-skating and the snow and even heavy rain are extremely exciting things. But oh my gosh, I love the sun. I didn't even realize it was something I missed until I got back. San Luis Obispo isn't even pretending like it is winter. Instead, it is fully giving in to blue skies and warm subtle winds. And it's heavenly. Sitting on the lawn between classes, under pretty clouds and eucalyptus trees, it seems crazy that I could ever miss chilly Scotland. But I do. I have traded in my boots for flip-flops, and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I see that you have England listed as one of your interests! Maybe you would enjoy my new blog:

As often as possible I will post photographs of glorious vistas, charming close-ups, and interesting tidbits of life in Great Britain for the pleasure of Anglophiles everywhere!
I'm not sure how I feel about you doing that either! But it sure sounds nice with a warm summer breeze, we are freeeeezing over here. <3
