What is your favorite type of weather?

You might not think that a lovely old chair and my favourite type of weather are connected. But they both occupy liminal space in my mind.

Derived from the Latin word “limen” which means “threshold,” liminal space is a concept that may sound unfamiliar, but it’s something you’ve likely experienced in your daily life.
Liminal space can best be described as going through a change or going from place to place—from one thing to the next.

I like the weather of May and September. Slightly changeable  with the chance of moderate warmth and no need for too many layers of clothing

Perfection would be twenty minutes  in a chair like this. With a small mug of black coffee or a cup of tea. Sat at an open french window overlooking the sea or at a garden that is not screaming for attention.

A chair like this in gently warm weather would encourage me to read or listen to the radio or a podcast. Or natter. This is not the time or space for TV or devices.Possibly something gently productive like sketching or crochet. Or maybe I could just be. Twenty minutes of not much in particular.
