Time for hygge (or a hug)

Brrr!! It’s getting colder, and darker. Winter is fast approaching and as I was looking for my perpetually lost slippers with greater urgency than usual this morning the word ‘hygge‘ popped into my head. This, as I’m sure you know, refers to a Danish lifestyle concept of seeking domestic comfort through the harder months of the year. It is apparently from the same etymological root as the English word ‘hug‘, which I guess makes a lot of sense! Anyway, why not take some hygge-style comfort in our latest quiz by clicking on the very comfortable cat below!
