Snow Days
There’s no better excuse than a snow day to stay indoors by a crackling fire with a great book and big mug of tea.

But snow rarely lasts long here. It’ll be a memory come the weekend.

The biggest was being too self-conscious about animating my voice. I figured that out halfway through, so had to go back and re-record the first ten chapters.
