  @Obelixx if you’ve time on your hands you might put our thicker duvet on for me  while I put sticky Asian pork ribs in the crockpot to braise for supper ... we’ve still got the 4tog one on but I’ve a feeling we’ll soon need a little more ... 😉

  We only use our 4tog right through the winter, I think probably because of the super insulation we have. Never have radiator on.

  Despicable indeed @Fairygirl 🤬. I suspect there were some photos in the press following Jencks’ death and some lowlife types helped themselves.

  Our easterly winter winds come straight from the Urals ... there’s nothing of any elevation between them and us. 💨 🥶

  Oh yes, the east winds are bad, one night of east winds and our gardens over, flattened. Blows straight off the Moor. Still have the bedroom window open though, love the sound.

  That's kind of you @chicky. 
  I have no connection, it was just that I saw the item, but that one is over where my nephew and his family live.
  My tulips have been in a while, but I have a few to go in the newest bed. I have a lychnis in there that needs dividing though. Which ones did you get this year?
  I think you're probably right @Dovefromabove- it crossed my mind too 
  All the southern Munros have a nice wee coating of the white stuff - got a nice view when I was out. There's a bit of clag on them though.The lower hills are ok-ish.
  High winds on them today though - I love it when the MWIS site describes it as 'considerable or severe buffeting' 
  4 tog was demoted a while ago here 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  I can’t remember when, if ever, Desert Island Discs has moved me to the verge of tears ... today Wendell Pierce’s account of taking his parents back to their restored home after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina was such a time.
