Hygge Hugs

After watching an episode of BBC's Coast (you can watch it here), I felt compelled to look into the Danish Art of "Hygge" more closely.

Described as a feeling of "cosiness", I couldn't think of anything more fitting for this blog, really.

Hygge can be anything: sitting in front of a roaring fire with a hot spiced tea, spending time with friends and family on the beach and singing a song together... anything that is familiar, nostalgic, heartwarming.

Hygge is apparently pretty difficult to describe as there are no synonyms for it in another language than Danish, but this website describes it in such a lovely way.

And here are a few of my favourite images from Flickr that I think sum-up what my interpretation of "hygge" is:-

Lucky Jim - Lovely To Me

This is such a sweet little song. Even if it does remind me of a bread advert. It's just so, so lovely <3

Enjoy!

Remember 9/11 for the stories of bravery, love and kindness of people who refused to cower in the face of terror. Lest we forget. "In the depths of winter, I finally realised that there was within me an invincible summer" ~ Albert Dumas. Remember that you all have these qualities within you and use them every day. <3
