Living is easy in California

70 degrees in January? Unbelievable isn't it? I've been to the coast twice in the past 4 days, and both times it was sunny and warm(ish). But it's supposed to get foggy again...I picked up the January 2011 edition of Country Living (British Edition) to get in a wintery mood. Aran blankets, wool knitted hot water bottle covers, a henkeeper's diary, listening to gardening stories, and a profile of Helen Swantson, the creator of Helkat Designs...ah...that's more like it.
