Quite extraordinary. Was browsing through a daughter's fashion website that end up on my computer, and thought I'd look at the ladies jumpers having lost a bit of weight, rather than the usual baggy, warm men's jumpers I normally wear. Most of the fashionable knitwear had bits missing - open backs, holes on the shoulders, low cut necklines that fall off the shoulders, cropped above the waist, etc. etc. Do none of these young women have any concept of clothing to keep warm in? Perhaps they all live in well heated urban homes where the main thing is to be able to expose as much skin as possible. They must live on a different planet to me.
Back in the real world of muddy pigs, for me the most important bit of kit to accompany the wellies, warm coat, wool hat, wool scarf and warm gloves is a pair of pull on waterproof trousers. An absolute godsend first thing in the morning when eager pigs are foaming at the mouth in anticipation of breakfast and have noses covered in mud from their pre-breakfast digging. I do like to be able to strip the muddy waterproofs off when I get back indoors so that I don't spread the mud all over the house and onto our fabric covered chairs. Tamsaddle
