10 Things Better When Short

The word ‘short’ is rarely used to refer to something positive. Think, getting the short end of the stick or getting short-changed. Well, we think it’s time we celebrated all things short, so we’ve compiled a handy list of 10 things that are better simply because they’re short.

1- Short drinks

2- Short shorts

3- Winter Solstice

The shortest day of the year means at least one thing. There’s less time until we’re back in bed again.

4- Shetland Ponies

5- Shortbread

The texture… The taste… The way it crumbles… We could go on but the keyboard is in danger of water damage by excess salivation.
