Well, it certainly seems like the gorgeous heat wave is over. It’s turned much colder here in Oxfordshire, which is a shame. I’ve enjoyed being warm & not feeling cold. I’ve been cold since October last year so its made for a refreshing change! But now that I’m back wearing jumpers & thick socks, I’ve been thinking about my Winter Wardrobe and if anything needs replacing. One thing that the needed replacing were my favourite mittens – I’ve had them for 10 years, and they’re pretty much worn out. So when I saw that the very talented Hilary Grant was having a sample sale, I knew I needed to be on the look out for a bargain!

I wasn’t disappointed! I bought these gorgeous mittens for less than half price, great for my bank balance and my chilly hands! They’re just what I’ve been looking for. I prefer mittens to gloves – they feel a bit more festive! I got the hat too, mainly because I love wearing hats in Winter and I know it’ll get plenty of wear while I’m out walking Poppy!

One of the reasons it’s so great having a really hot summer is that when it’s done, you look forward to the next season. I’m definitely looking forward to it being cold enough to wear these, which for my freaky temperature, will probably be next week!
