I prepare this article last year and I want to share it with you before it’s too cold, if like me you find yourself in the situation I am describing below you will know what to do to warm you up !
“This is snowing outside since the last two days. I am seating down on my coach wrapped in a large blanket in front of the TV with my computer on my knees. I like that there is some snow. It means that soon we will be able to ski and that mountains will be full of fresh snow. However I feel so cold today. Coming from south of France, I am not use of snow. Every two years,we got a bit of snow. Maybe half day and the afternoon everything was already gone. We are so not accustomed to snow that everything stops during one day. When I say everything stops, I means really everything. Schools are closed, parents stay at home …
Today I am feeling cold and I really need something to warm me up. What do you think about a mulled red wine? I think this is one of the best idea I ever had this week. Only few minutes and I can pour my glasses with a delicious mulled red wine. Yum. This is delicious. Do you want some?
