I think this is the cold winter they promised us a few years ago  . Yes wrap up warm.

This is my kinda weather! Frosty, sunny......just perfect for walkies!
Although I do worry about older people struggling to keep warm at the moment. They spend the majority of their pension on heating bills
More should be done to help them!

I was forgetting about the heating allowance. It's a disgrace it only benefits some people and not others who could do with it just as much, if not more.
That said, I think all of us will struggle with the bills this year

Going out bird-watching in a mo. Wearing 3 pairs jogging bottoms, 2 thick jumpers, 3 heavy cardigans, an all-in-one waterproof suit, 2 pairs socks, welly boots, 2 pairs gloves, and a thick woolly gat - hopefully should be warm enough!!! Cold and grey outside again.... |
