At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books, drink tea, and eat pastries in a humble seaside cottage during a raging storm?

Exactly my plans for today. But in a mountain cabin during a snowstorm.

Is hot chocolate an acceptable alternative to the tea?

bthemurph.bsky.social•6 days ago

I couldn't sleep for anything last night. Then the rain started, then I got thunder, and then I feel asleep.

indyauntie.bsky.social•6 days ago

I sleep with a sound machine at home and play this at night when I'm traveling. 🌦

YUP.

mhopefuldreamer.bsky.social•6 days ago

That sounds like a little slice of heaven. I mean, the storm is essential, right? It keeps visitors away while you're trying to read.

I'd like to drink milky coffee whilst planting seeds inside a large, old greenhouse - inhaling the dank early spring air, charged with promise for the coming season.

How on earth did you guess?

evastina.bsky.social•6 days ago

yes, but before that end of the day, let's go and defend democracy! Otherwise, the choice of books might become very limited.

adsullivan.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes. Yes we do.

justplainanne.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes please

erma-gerd.bsky.social•6 days ago

No. But that sounds like the set of Poldark...(PBS).
I'm in 100% love with Poldark's horse.
100%.

ceri38.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes please

iainl7.bsky.social•6 days ago

That depends. Will there be a decent whisky later?

doodlydo22.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, please. For the next four years if possible.

metaphorqu.bsky.social•6 days ago

Coffee but yes.

moobsahoy.bsky.social•6 days ago

I dunno.... would there be scones?

ladyweathergirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh yes! 🙌 Make that drop scones and a delicious variety of homemade cakes 🍰 as well as pastries. In front of an open fire or log burner.

ladyweathergirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

That was meant to be a (normal) comma, not a full stop, after ‘pastries’! 😖

nomath.bsky.social•6 days ago

Stuck in a snow/sleet/freezing rain debacle here this AM. Sounds pretty good to me.

kim2penn.bsky.social•6 days ago

Metaphorically, I’m doing just this. 🔥😳🔥

katerina-forli.bsky.social•6 days ago

I could skip the storm part, but the rest sounds great.

tsalite.bsky.social•6 days ago

People keep asking this, and I keep saying yes, but nobody has yet helped me make this a reality. It's super disappointing.

nurembergtrials.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, and please send directions to the cottage. Thank you.

anneofbrooklyn.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why yes!

joaz1.bsky.social•6 days ago

All for that except would still prefer sunny weather.

jjjmm.bsky.social•6 days ago

Or a mountain cabin...

opsimathie.bsky.social•6 days ago

Replace tea with coffee, and 'a raging storm' with 'every day'... 👌

witchwithcats.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, but maybe not the storm, just the silhouettes of seagulls against the cloudy moon

kimnoreen.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes.

writedame.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, with a whiskey nightcap and not a calorie among them.

carriewhet.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who is delivering the freshly baked pastries?

lisa2starr.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes! For our 30th wedding anniversary, my husband and I drove from Texas to Lincoln City, Oregon for Christmas in a house on the beach. It was stormy, cold and raining with brief spells of sunshine. Best vacation ever.

feralforestgrandma.bsky.social•5 days ago

You’ve inspired me.

barty12c.bsky.social•2 days ago

No, I’d much prefer a mysterious manor with a drive lined with trees writhing around in the gales, and an intriguingly stocked library full of gothic fantasy novels, and a benign ghost, a resident howling wolf… I think!

acmdigger.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bliss

umbrios.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes. If hubbie, the cats & tge dog can be present that'd be heaven.

bobdbob.bsky.social•6 days ago

Please, oh please. Make this happen 🤞
