Keeping Warm


This was my high/low thermometer in the greenhouse at about 1pm today.


and a picture of the garden at the same time .....
As you may know we are having an early cold snap in the UK!
Pretty isn't it?


Hubby has been feeling a bit 'fragile' & feeling the cold so yesterday out came my Grandmothers trusty Jones hand sewing machine that I inherited & I whipped up this heat bag for him.
He's been using one of the 'normal' ones but complained that he needed a 'hands free' version
So I set to work & came up with this ........


I managed to prise it away from him to photograph! :-)
Keeping the 'core' warm really helps :-)


I've made it adjustable so that it can be worn by lot's of different sized people.

Hope everyone is keeping warm & safe ..........
