Winter attire

 

Time was every Winter thinner coats like anoraks would be relegated to the back of the coat racks and I'd be but into a thick green or grey duffle coat for winter, bobble hats and gloves would come out too.

We'd still be in short trousers with long socks often with wellington boots on, it wasn't an era that moddycoddled boys in the slightest so unlike girls we never had ear muffs or be sent out with ointments.

It's perhaps hardly suprising a large chunk of me expects and prefers even to dress like this more during this season fighting talk of long trousers,  track suits and the like cos I'm no softie.
