I had hoped I'd done with body warmers for a season or two but the wind has switched from west to north east and I'm wearing one again. We've had brief falls of sleet and hail- and Ailz tells me that when my back was turned there was a flurry of snow. My daughter rang me from the field in Leicestershire round which she was walking the dog and cut the call short because her hands were frozen and she needed to stick them in her pockets.
