We have force 10 gales predicted for tomorrow Jack so Spring can't come soon enough - but I've got to say the spring bulbs are peeping through the ground so it wont be long now I hope:-) Hugs Jan xx

Don’t worry about me, I just remembered when you use thermal underwear …. Never worry what I am going to think. I know all your other writing and they are beautiful this one is too, but I do enjoy your humor. Love & hugs eve

those thermals are not too attractive, but they sure are snug and warm. Great title for your description of our best protection from winter's chill.

Hi Jan, Very nice. I think I'll have a cup of tea or hot chocolate after reading that. (7) Thermals! What a great invention. Take care. Earl
