| I see myself safely cocooned in down, my toes curled around a hot-water bottle, writing in my journal and plotting the day's travel on the topo. |
| We keep a look out for friends' boats and chat to lock-keepers but for most of the time we're cocooned in our comfortable, private world. |
| The embarrassment and shame it brings on the family means people are keeping quiet and women are being cocooned in their homes. |
| Trucks and cars swoosh past us occasionally, otherwise we are cocooned in the subliminal hum of the forest. |
| With two hours to kill, I stopped in one of those terminal bars where you can fill your stomach and, cocooned in anonymity, read a newspaper. |
| They were cocooned in their own world, with not the slightest concern for anyone around. |
