Every morning, as soon as I get up, I go to let the cat in. This morning, I opened the door to a blast of what seemed like arctic air. It was only 10°C, but it felt far colder. And then today, there was a very unseasonal shower of sleet around lunchtime. So it’s getting perceptibly colder already!
Nina and I were out in the rain yesterday, and were well soaked by the time we got back to the car. This is putting me in mind of a “winter kit” to keep in the car. It’s be useful to have, at least, a couple of towels, a torch and spare batteries, some dry socks, and possibly a packet of biscuits or something. I’m thinking here of the times when you get back to the car having had to walk through rain, or wet grass, or something of the sort, and you’re wet and miserable.
Suggestions for a good winter car kit will be gratefully received, and I’ll put another page on the sidebar on the right for it.
