ESCAPE (view sampler)

If ever there was a time for comfortable pleasures, it's the new year. Think a winter cabin hideaway. Or perhaps see your friends for a Swedish-style afternoon tea & making plans. There are new neighbourhoods to explore and projects to throw yourself into. Seek out snow, hold a fondue or find sunshine in a fiery salad, if you're trying to escape the dark days. Lose yourself in a play, a poem or a trip to the theatre. And if it all gets too much, sit down to supper on the sofa and a box-set.
