D#017 Winterset Hollow (Winter 2022/2023)

 2023 has just started and winter is at its peak.  One thing I love to do in SL during this time of the year is going around and visiting sims that have a wintery-kinda atmosphere, where snow plays a major role. What follows is my review of the sim Winterset Hollow I visited a few days ago and I found it absolutely incredible and very cold. ⛇ Make yourself a cup of tea or hot cocoa, grab a blanket, and hope you will enjoy the reading! đź’— Winterset Hollow is a Swedish-inspired winter village created by Tolla Crisp and Terry Fotherington, owners of Frogmore.  The landing point is located at the beginning of what we can call the "main street" of the village, which most of the commercial activities of the place overlook. Here you can find a lovely bakery, a post office, a small grocery shop, little stands selling gluhwein (mulled wine), hot cocoa & marshmallows, a tailoring workshop, and a few, cozy cafes.

Northern Shore is the representation of a typical fishing village like those that can be found along the coast of Sweden and the many little islands of its archipelagos.  The landing point is at the sim's harbor, with the port spread over two islands and the waters in between the reign of the many seagulls and other seabirds living in the area.  Here, we can find a small grocery shop next to the shipyard where a boat is apparently under construction (or being demolished?). Next to it, a very picturesque fresh seafood market offers visitors a rustic resting point - and a nice view over the opposite side of the harbor.  By the way... Did you notice the massive crab just outside the shipyard? Impressive, is
