I found a tin of After Eights and we enjoyed our Christmas chocolates. We ate up our Christmas food, veggies, and meat, the bread I had baked and had cosy soups. I read a classic I hadn't read in years (review coming soon!), watched old black and white movies, slept and literally did nothing, because I was poorly. I love this sentiment and was also forced into this position when we tested positive for Covid. Read my review of Wintering by Katherine May She also refuses to diet and in her own words says she walks around with a block of butter in her hand, taking a bite when she fancies. It is a time of recovery, when she can be quiet and be ready for the arrival of Spring. A month where she can take it easy, nestle in on an evening, read, sew, knit, or binge-watch the latest TV series. But, her guests countered, it's dark, depressing and you have no money and the food is all lettuce leaves and All-Bran.Ĭlaudia went on to explain, that after the madness of Christmas where she spends all her time in the kitchen, buying presents, wrapping presents and cleaning up after the Christmas tree, she relishes the approach of January. Cue sharp intakes of breath and astonished looks. Claudia astonished us all by saying that she LOVES January.
Well no longer! I've had a bit of an epiphany and it is all thanks to the delightful Claudia Winkleman.Ĭlaudia's first radio show of the year involved her discussing the month of January with Sally Traffic and various guests and listeners. After the excitement of Christmas, twinkly lights and all the chocolate I can eat, I tend to get a bit depressed when the decorations come down and we have 2 months of dark nights. I tend not to enjoy the month of January.
