No need to worry about me Sylvia , i am fine thanks . I have heating in the caravan here , but if i dry anything more than a t shirt , water ends up pouring down the walls and everything goes damp and mouldy . So i just wear clothes till they dry .
I just wear an old waxed cotton coat , shirt , jeans , knickers and socks . It all dries very quickly , and isn't half as bad as it sounds .
This is the worst year ever for drying , it just hasn't let up , as you all know .
A 50 mile round trip , £10 fare and all day to do it ,to get to the supermarket , isn't really on Sandy lol . There are nearer , smaller sm's but take just as long to get there and back as there is no bus servis here , have to book a link , bloody nightmare .
If i did the 6 mile round trip walk to the land naked in just a mac , i think i would end up getting nicked ! lol .
Waterproofs just make me sweat and overheat , plus they wear out very fast and i don't have the money to buy them.
There really is no need to worry though , i am asolutely fine . I am dry and warm as toast when i settle down in the evening . Although i was a bit chilly when the went down to -20c last winter .
But it was 12c when i washed my clothes in the river the other day , it felt like the tropics !
I do that as a general thing in the summer , but it is usually dry and warm then .
I often wonder how the weirdo's (said tongue in cheek , i know they aren't all weird !) in towns would cope with my way of life ?
It can be a struggle at times , but mainly i cope ok , except when i go arse over tit into a bottomless lagoon of dilute mud , well it was 6" deep actually .
I couldn't stand up properley , so rolled over and got onto hands and knees and was trying , like bambi , to stand up , when the hood of the waxed coat swung round and landed on my head . Trouble was , it was full of liquid mud !
I looked like the creature from the black lagoon !
The river water was full of colour , but cleaner than the mud i was caked in .
