Gran Hacienda Reserva, Sauvignon Blanc - a Chilean white from our wedding day, which I've enjoyed time and time again.

* The slippers I'm wearing are from Victoria's Secret in New York (a Christmas gift from sister S) - I'm unable to locate online so would recommend the Celtic & Co mules featured above. While I don't own a pair, I've been buying cosy boots from this brand for years and have no doubt these mules are seriously comfortable. Worth the investment.

Disney never fails to lift my spirits after a busy week - I love popping a classic or the latest animation on in the background during the weekend.

If you haven't watched Frozen before, you're probably sick of the sight of it: songs, toys, games, fancy dress... it's everywhere. My advice? Watch it! You won't regret it. We recently watched it with a couple of friends who were visiting (they hadn't seen it before) and within minutes our group of 30-somethings were howling away. Especially during this song (sung by a snowman who doesn't realise 'what happens to solid water when it gets warm'...):

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, the moral messages are aplenty, while the adult humour is subtle and hilarious. Bravo Disney.

Angove Shiraz Carignan 2014 - A medium-bodied Australian red that smells of bramble, black pepper and vanilla and offers a taste of 'strapping' blackberry and spice. It was like drinking a cup of cosy - really warming and instantly relaxing.

Downton Abbey. Admittedly, I only started watching this period drama at the beginning of 2015. I completely missed the Downton boat when it first came out - I think it was on TV at the same time as Spooks, which L and I love, so we opted for spies over silverware. I've now caught up and can't recommend it enough. Following the lives of the Crawley family and their servants, it's filled to the brim with drama, mystery and incredible fashion (and don't get me started on the HOUSE). My brother-in-law is one of the biggest fans I know - which is one of the reasons I really love Julian Fellowes: his ability to write for everyone. With that in mind, here's an ode to his unrivalled ability to weave comedy into a stiff upper lip: His character the Dowager Countess of Grantham, played by the marvellous Maggie Smith:

Yellow Tail Shiraz 2015, Australia - A spicy, full bodied red with a smooth flavour of ripe red berries and a slight liquorice aroma. While it's a great winter warmer (think steak and a roaring fire) - we drink it year-round as it's L's favourite.

Harry Potter. L didn't read the books before the movies, so I recently bought him the first book and two months on - he's almost at the end of the last one! I salute any author who can write for everyone: from 5-year-olds to 50-year-olds. My favourite scene? It has to be Mrs Weasley's House - The Burrow. It was exactly how I pictured it when reading the books - cluttered but comfortable. It's the people inside that make this one of the homeliest homes in fiction: (Ron: "It's not much, but it's home." Harry: "I think it's brilliant.")

Watching a good movie is best enjoyed alongside a Terry's chocolate orange at Maison Bailey. What are your go-to movie snacks? For some inspiration, check out my Food board on Pinterest.

Gran Hacienda Reserva, Sauvignon Blanc 2014 - A crisp Chilean white with fruity aromas of citrus blossoms and peaches, balanced with 'herbaceous undertones'.

The Knick (Sky Atlantic) - a medical drama set in the 1900s starring Clive Owen. Centred around Dr John W Thackery (Owen) and his team at New York's Knickerbocker Hospital. Bear with the first couple of episodes as you'll soon get addicted. It has many dark moments and as you can guess - lots of bloody surgery scenes! Best enjoyed with wine - not food... 

No matter what you're watching, comfort is key. Take a look at some of the cosy-looking living rooms I've been pinning on Pinterest - all you need is the big 4: couch, cushion, throw, vino.
