Probably teaching most of you to suck eggs, however, this time of year
especially, I find gardening gloves soon get wet and my hands cold when
working in the garden. My solution is to don a pair of disposable latex
gloves first, I find this keeps my hands dry and warm.

Wouldn't last 5 seconds, wearing them inside is much better, washing up
gloves are as good.

Thanks for that! Bl***** freezing here already (900 ft in Perthshire!)
so anything that might keep me a bit warmer - other flitting to the med
for a few months - is great by me.

By January last year I'd resorted to shoving a hot water bottle down my
jacket. OK, looked a bit strange but it worked. If we can solve the
problem of cold ears and noses as well (hopefully without looking toooo
odd), it'll be great.

Get a "Balaclava" or "Buff" from a good (internet) outdoor shop...

(I've had superb service from them, ordered a jacket on Sunday evening
arrived here the other end of the country on Tuesday morning.)

In Berlin while in the RAF back in the 50/60s we used earmuffs for the
ears, rather like headphones but an ear cover instead of "mini
speakers". The noses just stayed cold. :-(
