I just love this email from my friend Claire, who's a gardener:
i love this stalking thing- can you do stalking as a career?
not only am i a dumb gardener but all fashion sense has totally left me due to the cold. today i is mainly wearing tights, leggings and jeans. 4 jumpers and a frankly disguting 'gillet' with matching fagan style fingerless gloves. i would however like to point out(incase lucy reads this) that i have not yet commited the ultimate in fashion crime and i'm not wearing a fleece! if you ever meet anyone from dragons den i would like to invent a bra with removable padding that you can warm in the microwave
She sounds like a woman after my own heart. It was so cold yesterday I wore my hideous parka and my scarf ALL DAY, and I was in my house. Plus I wore opaque tights with a pair of thick-knit woolly socks over the top.
ReplyDeleteWell you see we are clearly practical women. When I was little I was so cold at night in our freezing house I used to sleep in tights, trousers, cardigan and balaclava.
ReplyDeleteNice night attire Mummy's Life!
ReplyDeleteUp T'Naurth,fleece and bergaus are standard issue. I have got a rather nifty Northface fitted jacket but anything thinner and then I'd be proper Northern. There are people up here still in short sleeves. No really,I kid you not!
At least your friend isn't Charlie Dimmock she doesn't even wear a bra. Now there's a worry.
