On rainy days, sounds are muffled and colours are intensified. There are few things more comforting than a rainy day spent indoors.

It’s raining in London today. I’m at my desk, watching the trees bend and sway. It’s lovely in here.

These photos make me think of Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Match Girl, peering into the windows of fire-lit houses. These photos make me think of winter. (Well, except for the last one.)
1. On the outside looking in.
2. On the inside looking out.
3. On the outside looking in.
4. On the inside looking out.

Sometimes it gets so cold that I wish I had a balaclava. I would look like a very small, cosy ninja.
1. You don’t have to match the grey sky, you know.
2. A fluffy hat (with strategically placed pom poms) will cheer you up…
3. …As will a scarf which engulfs your whole head.
4. Some people love their LongJohns.
5. Either way, don’t forget to dress your dogs.

Some like it hot. I’m one of them.
1. A fairground ride. May someone explain the reasoning behind this name?
2. The warmer section of the spectrum.
3. The biggest, fattest, toastiest head-engulfing scarf in the world.
4. Lyrics on the karaoke screen.
5. Warm pear upside-down cake, fresh from the oven.
p.s. It’s the last day for this week’s theme. Submit a photo now!

I’m not good with winter. I’m constantly too cold, I constantly crave the sun, and I’m constantly slipping on that sneaky, sneaky ice. If it weren’t for my camera and the gorgeous wintry scenes outside, I’d probably never leave my house.
1. Bare branches dusted with snow.
2. A layer of ice on the canals of Little Venice.
3. Heavy, steely clouds.
4. Wet windows and weak winter light.
5. Garden flowers, struggling with their load.

The feeling of being at home is hard to describe, but slippers are surely part of the definition.
1. The luxury edition: white tights and leopard print velour.
2. The endangered species edition: Koalas (with bows, naturally).
3. The Greek edition: a touristy version of the wood and leather originals.
4. The punny edition: the text reads ‘I’m the buzzness!’
5. The cozy edition: featuring as much wool as possible.
