1. What are your feelings about winter? Right this minute? That it can't come soon enough (of course this is subject to drastic and heartfelt revision when it does start showing up later in the year...)
2. What is your go-to drink in the winter? (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) Mochaccino with lots of cream and sprinkled with bits of Flake bar, speaks to the inner greedy glutton, the coffee/chocolate addict and the small child needing comforty drinks.
3. What are your favorite things about the winter? I don't think I have one, it tends to be - by the standards of most of you - mild and dull, mostly dry, we never get snow (well, I am told about twenty flakes landed on the local hill in 1973? - made the local newspapers)
Maybe that it's not too cold, though more than enough for me.
4. How do you deal with the wintry blues? Sit in front of the heater wrapped in a fluffy rug, listen to music, drink hot drinks and eat hot comfort food (let's be honest, very little cold summery food ever comes under the comfort label, that's a cooler weather thing) and read.
Oh, and Christmas in July is a good heartener, at a nice restaurant.
5. What are your least favorite things about the winter? When it's mild dull and drizzly, just wet enough to dampen the spirits if not the garden.

I love it. I never really felt like I had winter when I lived in Leeds, it always seemed to just rain and be windy but not much else, Yorkshire winter was just like the other seasons.
2. What is your go-to drink in the winter? (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
Tea (all year round), a pint of Tennent's or a Sailor Swirl (a rum based cocktail, All Bar One make the bestest version)
3. What are your favourite things about the winter?
The dark and the way the air feels crisp and fresh, I live in Aberdeen and when I go for a walk to the beach that breeze that comes in off the North Sea is lovely. Love getting out for a walk, which I do all year round anyway just seems more peaceful to me in winter.
4. How do you deal with the wintry blues?
Don't really get them but some years I'll book a week abroad somewhere for some winter sun although I'm usually needing a break and to get out of Scotland anyway.
5. What are your least favourite things about the winter?
Ice, it's the only weather alert that will keep me indoors because in 2009 I slipped on ice and broke my wrist and still waited almost a week to go to hospital to get it checked. So I'm always a little more cautious for icy days.
