Gemutlichkeit: (noun) warm friendliness; coziness, comfortableness. The word comes from German word gemutlich (comfortable, cozy). Earliest documented use: 1892.
If “troth” made me think of John Standring, this word made me think of a certain tall, lanky handsome stranger with a penchant for striped jumpers.
I think of the warmth of that dazzling smile with which he greets the vicar and Alice on their visit to Sleepy Cottage; of his sweet and sunny personality and how good it must be to cuddle with someone like Mr. Kennedy.
Harry exudes gemutlichkeit.
I can easily imagine a cold winter’s eve, curling up beneath a quilt on a comfy sofa in front of a cozy fire, head resting on one broad and reliable jumper-clad shoulder, listening to Harry read aloud in that delicious chocolate voice . . .
I hope you find some gemutlichkeit in your life this holiday season, my friends.

I love Harry, he has a special place in my heart because he introduced me to Richard 🙂 I was besotted from the very first moment he came up on the screen… And I haven’t stopped ever since…
Harry was my 1st chaRActer love as well! I imagine the expression on my face when he 1st appeared on the screen was very much like the Vicar’s!
I suspect we all would have worn similar expressions under the same circumstances.
what a sunny smile, he warms our heart and not only…Harry inspires many snuggles 😛
You just know he’d be great to snuggle with, don’t you, that cuddly, sweet, gorgeous Handsome Stranger. 😉
Sweet Harry. I keep thinking that I read, somewhere, that Richard identifies most with harry than all of other characters. I just hope he has a little naughty Guy side. 🙂
Yes, he has said his personality is the most like Harry’s. But he also admits to a “filthy temper” at times and has said he likes a woman with a naughty side. Having seen him in flirtatious mode with some of his female interviewers, I would definitely say he’s got a naughty side, too. 😉
What a lovely thought, cuddling with Harry while he reads aloud on a winter evening. “Gemutlichkeit”, a long word meaning “Yummy”…
Sipping hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows which stick to Harry’s lips and require a little assistance removing.:D
What a yummy thought..mmm..it would be a ladies’ version of ‘kissing Nigella after she’s eaten chocolate cake’ 😉
Great point! And he’d just be so cute about it all. I see my Benny’s eyes dancing with mischief even as he tries to keep a very straight face, and I imagine Harry doing the same thing.
Bring on the mischief!
That’s what I always say. 😉
