- the last leaf, clinging on for dear life
- the low, golden sun
- the torrential, it'll-soak-you-to-your-skin rain
- the first frost
- the fog, the mist
- the blues, the pastels, the browns, the grays
- the muddy paw prints and the "look, it's cold out there, and the grass has turned to ice. do you honestly expect me to pee out there?" look on the dogs faces
- the crunch beneath your feet
- the smell of sage and onion stuffing
- the rough stormy ocean and the salty spray
- the smell of the car de-icer
- the sound of the frozen streams melting, trickle, trickle
- the steam escaping your lips
- the funkiest of the funky gloves
- the much-loved hat hair
- the slippery pavements
- the blanket upon blanket upon duvet bedtimes
- the power cuts
- the howling wind that steals your breath
- the nights at the harbour, no tourist in sight
- the heavy cloak of darkness
- the christmas special frappes
- the "it looks like snow" but the snow never falls days
- the purple sky
- the twinkling christmas lights
- the smell of the open fire
- the special" here, feel how cold my hands are!" moments
