There’s a phenomenon which
occurs during a wintery Christmas which doesn’t happen down in the summery
southern hemisphere – the desire to be warm and cosy. To achieve this, we
tend towards being housebound, with the fire lit, and the Christmas lights
on. However, there’s nothing better than going out, to appreciate a cosy
house on arriving back home.
Yesterday,
after a lazy morning, we took a short drive to Nashville, Indiana. The
drive out there wasn’t very long but it followed rivers and meandering leafless
woods such as we never see in NZ. Nashville is the cutest little town I
can remember seeing with a main street and a few little side roads. It
offers Nashville-made fudge, caramel corn (flavoured, sweet popcorn), wine and
candles. We had a glorious afternoon wine tasting and wandering through
the many gift and antique stores. As the sun set, the buildings were all
lit up with magical Christmas lights. Happy days.
