It's winter here, and the temperature is an appropriately-cold 30 something. The air is that moist cold that mocks you for wearing a jacket, as though it will help. But cottage is warm inside, and for more than just that the heater’s on. Cottage offers a warmth that you can settle into, put your feet up. These surfaces are cool to the touch but welcome you to warm conversation, to a welcome rest.
Yes, drop the stroller on the plastic container left on the other side of the island, its fine. Yes, leave the dishes in the sink, they’ll get done. Sit down, you’re welcome here.

Cottage is warm. This is cottage.
