Looking forward to experiencing apricity - lovely word. It's still very dull and damp in the Black Country.

The Danes have a word for the imprint of your teeth on butter!

Found it thanks to Google. Petrichor the smell of rain on dry earth. Not what we have at the moment rain on sodden earth.
Newly cut grass doesn't have its own word.
I shall remember apricity. It's a lovely feeling. Winter sunshine.

Lovely word. I am trying to remember the words for the smell of rain and newly cut grass. Will have to Google.

I've forgotten what that feels like. Snow turning to heavy rain here in North Wales.

A lovely word but cannot be applied to this part of Berkshire at the moment. It will be nice when it comes.

the feeling of the warmth of the winter sun on your face.

Didn’t realise there was a word for this feeling. Seeing and feeling the sun after so many dreary days is wonderful this morning
