Winter is coming.

I went shopping yesterday. I wasn't cold or anything but for some reason I got this urge to start buying warm clothing.
I ended up buying a thinsulate Beannie hat, pair of leather gloves, 2 scarfs 1 silk 1 cotton cannot abide wool near my neck, a big thick jumper, thick wool socks and extra long wool socks to wear with my wellies.
I came home and ordered a Champion full length riding coat and a Indiana waxed hat.
I seem to be planning for a cold winter.

You'll enjoy the warmth of your new wardrobe come the cold days.

I decided not to buy any new clothes this year as I have so many almost unworn Winter clothes from last year - quite expensive stuff too including cashmere jumpers and new boots.

Re: Winter is coming.

Was reading somewhere that this is going to be a really cold winter, a polar blast is due this year and could start as early as the end of this month, mind you, these are the same experts that always promise us a barbacue summer..

Re: Winter is coming.

The Daily Express and Mail simply invent their weather headlines.

Re: Winter is coming.

Me no likey the cold.
I will jet off somewhere warm - I wish.

Re: Winter is coming.

That does sound like you are planning for the worst I'm not buying or making winter clothes this year I have enough from last year, my husband bought me a beautiful pale green duffle coat last year and that I am looking forward to getting out because it's lovely.

Re: Winter is coming.

I wore a jumper for the first time this autumn. I've got all my woolens packed away upstairs in case of moths, but I didn't notice many moths this year. Better to be safe than sorry, though.

Re: Winter is coming.

I used to have a lovely wool poncho reminiscent of Clint Eastwood -the moths ate it despite the fact I had laced it with moth balls which they seemed to think was added flavouring .

Re: Winter is coming.

And there's me working in a t shirt still

My winter wear is summer wear with a few more layers

I also prefer silk and cashmere

For me winter and the cold means an extra pair of socks usually

Re: Winter is coming.
