What are you all up to

There are some of us so unused to having heating - that we prefer to sit coated up - but it needs to be done carefully!  I have been used to cold houses all my life and feel really uncomfortable in hothouses!  However it is really sad when people die of hypothermia. 

I just feel that elderly people need to be careful and keep their houses warm. It can be dangerous if they dont. It's awful when people can't afford it.

Had a slight fall of snow early through the night but it was followed by rain in the early morning so most of it had gone. Luckily it didn't freeze so roads were fine. Went to Knutsford in the morning with a walk around The Heath before having a look through the town. Then an hour and three quarter walk through Tatton Park after lunch. There was a cold wind blowing but no rain and a blue sky, although we could see the hills to the East were well covered with snow and another snow fall could be seen passing over there. In fact flights had to be delayed at Manchester Airport because of the weather. Clear again tonight so perhaps another frost on the ground in the morning.

No we'd planned to be up here yesterday for 5 nights. The CL is only about 3 mls off the motorway and has a flat 1/2ml drive down to the site. However the weather's supposed to be warmer but wet next week when we move up to Kirkham.

Quite  understand  what  you  &  MillieH  are  saying  Pippah    !!

I've  been  wearing  a  nice  warm  coat  & a  Scarf  --  not  because 

I'm  cold  but  to  help  me  throw  off  this  damned  Coff  &  Cold   !

So  about  8:00  pm  a  nice  young  neighbour  came  round  to 

check  this  old  goat  was  OK.

First  thing  she  said  when  I  let  her  in  was  "Gawd,  It's  warm

in  here  !!  So she  stayed  for  a  warm  &  a  brew  

At  least  it's  good  to  know  the young  folk  do  care    !!

Perhaps better posted in Caravan and Motorhome Chat as its on topic?

We have a continuous battle of the thermostat in our house.  I switch it up everytime I pass it and Carol switches it down.  We rarely seem to be able to get a temperature that suits both of us at the same time.

One of my relatives didn't like having the heating on but she did switch on an electric fire, absolutely miserable visiting her in the winter! 

I was perfectly snug last night with the temp in sleeping quarters at 6 degrees.  I would certainly switch something on if suffering from a cold or flu though.  I do try hard when I get visitors and bring out me summer clothes!
