And it’s the one item of clothing you don’t have to spend a fortune on..because the truth of it is that the High Street does it far better than the designers who can’t help trying to guild the lilly when the appeal is the simplicity of three..

And a pull tie at the bottom..not to use..but just because it’s right.

Most of these are from ASOS who are having a truly GREAT parka sale – I can’t think of a more perfect item to be in a sale at this time of year..

A few more momentos from our sojourn to the South Coast.  You can’t tell from the photos, but the weather was killing us slowly – strong winds from the arctic – I  have never experienced frozen left nostril before.  And never hope to again…IMG_1227 IMG_1225

Comb-over trees!

We read that in one year 10 people got blown off the edge in gusts of winds.  We almost added to the total…taking this picture..
