Notes

Why you’ll like it
Taking in the sparkly winter scenery after a heavy snowfall is one of the greatest joys of cottaging. It’s also best enjoyed with a cup of spiked hot chocolate in hand, as opposed to a shovel. So let the pros with the plows take the white stuff away and start the day with this little indulgence instead.
