Here, we're stuck with endless grey January, a bit drizzly and chilly but not excitingly cold or snowy. My really cold weather gear is languishing at the back of a cupboard, only to be dragged out for skiing. nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-70668391881988457182015-01-09T22:26:08.723+00:002015-01-09T22:26:08.723+00:00Iota - Aw thanks petal.

My eyes are blue and tend to reflect what's going on around them so sometimes they can look grey/denim and other times I look like a timber wolf!

This week apparently has been rather warm there and we now have icicles dropping off that are three feet long and ten inches wide. Yikes! <br /><br />Trish - the poor schoolboy can barely walk to school with the thick clothing and the giant backpack on! LOL<br /><br />MsC - Yes, whenever I come back to England I can feel my skin saying "Thank you, thank you."<br /><br />eps - I'm not sure you're garnering any sympathy there ;-)<br /><br />Thanks Maggie.

We actually bought boots for the dog, too. I had someone warn me that England was 'really cold' before I moved here, and I just laughed. I'm sure it's cold, but compared to Seoul, where your face (the part that's exposed between the hood and the neck gaiter) begins to ache in just minutes after walking outdoors, I am finding the weather in England to be remarkably comfortable - and the beautiful thing, as you pointed out, is that my skin is no longer cracking and shedding! I bet I had a chapstick and a tube of extra-strength hand lotion in every pocket of every coat I owned. Not envying you, but sending lots of sympathy. Oh, and for the dog, you might want to try Muttluks - it's a Canadian brand of dog boots, which I agree are absolutely silly, but might give the dog a bit of relief.

Yes, it gets grey and wet and raw here at times, but -- as I like to remind the locals -- I have not had to shovel my roof for 12 years.<br /><br />And "let me walk that back..." Ugh!MikeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530099708429116393noreply@blogger.com
