If winter is wintering a little too long for your liking, start spotting glimmers to get you
through until spring.
We went on a Glimmer Hunt in our February issue, noticing the small things that make us feel safe and calm. One of the things we loved most was the idea of compiling a Glimmer Library; a list in a notebook, on your phone or just in your head of the glimmers you have seen to refer back to when you need a boost. To help get you started with your Glimmer Library, we’ve collated a few glimmers here that you might like to spot this month…
Snowdrops in full bloom
Sticky buds on trees
The smell of fresh lemons on pancakes
The sound of rain on your roof when you’re cosy inside
A perfectly formed spider web
Sinking into a bed with new sheets on
Tea in your favourite mug
The crackle of logs on a fire
Suddenly noticing how light the evenings are
Winter birdsong
See how many of our Eye Spy Glimmers you can spot this month and add more of your own as you notice them to create your Glimmer Library.
