This story reminds me of the cottage our family had by the lake. How I miss spending the winter there, with temperatures reaching below - 20 degrees and the snow piling over 50 cm. Finland is indeed a beautiful place. Thank you for the story 💜

This was a cozy one. ❄️ 🏠 I enjoy the specificity of description to characters in your sleep stories. I feel like I have known people at the general store, and an animal familiar like the fox. I like the cozy & rustic chalet. I fell asleep almost right after entering. I like the addition of a fur baby companion. I took a nap on a lazy Sunday this Valentine’s Day. Thank you Michelle.❤️🙏🏼

Never mind Vermont Michelle, this story could be trudging through the Texas snow! But never mind where the cozy chalet is situated, I’d always bring the love of my life; thank god she’s recovering well from covid; along with any furry friends. Snow all disappeared from England, back to rain, but your snow themed stories are always a treat for my imagination.

The snow keeps coming here! Glad to hear of her recovery! I have many friends who have been roughing it in Texas, having left New York for an easier winter! A slight thaw is coming for all of us soon... good thing since a trip upstate had my poor pup slipping on the ice. There were so many storms that the entire landscape had an inch of ice and my sister not being the greatest at clearing her sidewalks made the visit treacherous. Well I didn't give that ice a chance. I got on the snowbank and slid down in my sleeping bag sized coat towards her front door. She laughed-- but I told her if I started on by bum, there was no chance of FALLING on it.

This is beautiful. Your attention to detail is truly amazing. You have such a special gift. Thank you for sharing 💚💙

I can’t thank you enough Michele. I was diagnosed with ms and due to covid my treatment is 17 months overdue. Your stories make me fall asleep every night. Your voice makes me feel so good. Could I suggest a story I’d love you to write. Calling it the girl with ms. You can use my name as that girl and story to encourage others with ms that they are not alone. And how a lovely walk before Bed is so good to their mind and may even motivate them to walk more.walking in your stories now makes me walk so much more, it has helped her make peace with ms. Sorry maybe I am asking for too much. But no one has ever made a lovely story about ms. It will give reassurance to all the people that would find peace in it. Please will you think about it. Did you know falling asleep when you have ms is so hard. Did you also know it’s a young persons illness? It would be so marvellous
