1. Bundle up and hunker down - It's officially blanket season! Grab your cosiest throw, wrap yourself up like a burrito, and settle in for some serious hibernation mode over the weekends. Who needs a bear cave when you've got a snug couch and endless streaming options. Hello binge watching!
2. Indulge in winter delicacies - Winter is the ultimate excuse to indulge in all of the comfort foods your heart desires. Picture creamy curries, steaming lamb potjies, a decadent one-pot beef lasagna with FAT bastard Merlot created by Meals with Mash. Plus, don't forget to save room for a slice of malva pudding for good measure.
3. Embrace the outdoors (even if it’s just your backyard) - A Southern hemisphere winter doesn’t necessarily call for snowball fights and magical sleigh rides, but it does allow for throwing on a jacket and getting out there to enjoy nature. Exercise in the winter months is just that much easier without the summer heat to slow you down. There’s nothing like a winter walk or hike with a flask of coffee or tea to enjoy at the halfway mark.
4. Fortify your winter fortress - Channel your inner architect and invite your kids to build the ultimate blanket fort. Gather pillows, cushions, and all the blankets you can find to construct a cosy hideaway worthy of royalty. Deck out your fort with fairy lights, snacks and a board game for a day of family fun.
“With the chill of winter comes the opportunity to enjoy slow-cooked meals and cosy blankets, each savoured alongside a perfectly paired glass of wine,” says Viljoen .
