Hi!

I'm a student at Southampton Solent University and am currently working on my final major project. For this, I am writing a series of articles for Essentials magazine. I am keen to write an article surrounding relationships in winter.

For this article I need to speak to a woman who has spent winter as a single woman, possibly for the first time in a few years. This doesn't need to be this winter; it can be from any winter in their life. I am hoping to put a positive spin on this issue, showing that women don't need a man to feel happy and cosy at this time of year, despite the stereotypical view that winter is the time to be in a relationship.

If there is anyone who thinks they can help me with this or point me to somewhere I can get help, please let me know. Also, if you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you
