It's Cold Outside

Brrr! It has turned cold here in my part of the UK. This morning in the church cafe I was wearing 8 layers of clothes - bra, knickers, tights, socks, trousers, vest, long sleeve t-shirt, a fleece and fur lined boots! with gloves, hat and a warm coat for walking down and back. If I'm out walking I get quite warm but in the cafe we're only moving to the coffee machine, the air fryer or taking food and drinks to tables. The heating is good but the cold came in every time the door opened when people came in.

At home the central heating is turned right up and soup is regularly on the menu. 

Greggs tomato soup is absolutely delicious with one of their vegan sausage rolls.

I quite like being outside when I'm well wrapped up, but otherwise I don't like winter. I have a few ways of keeping warm though.

I have some lovely blankets and a fleece I made. A blanket over my lap makes me feel warm and cosy

candles help warm the room, and smell nice

 

and a good old fashioned hot water bottle. This lovely one was a gift from a very dear friend years ago. It says "Grumpy and Irrational do not approach unless you have chocolate"  She knew me well, I wasn't often irrational, I was occasionally grumpy when hungry or cold, and I have always loved chocolate.

Dear reader I hope you are keeping warm, or cool depending on where you are.

Polly
