At its best, winter teaches us to appreciate the small things. It reminds us of the small pleasures of blankets, books and cups of tea; of brisk walks in the countryside; of being at home and getting together with loved ones.

I didn’t want to miss these things this year, however busy or tired I have been. With this in mind, I’ve been taking photos of the small moments and messing about with the editor on my phone. Small bursts of creativity are so good for my mood and taking time to play with the pictures made me appreciate the moments they showed.

What small things help you through the winter?
