Baby It's Cold Outside

My first winter in Scotland is proving to be a cold one. I have a newfound appreciation for the hot water bottle but not so much for the sterile look of them.

Therefore, a cover is essential and there are many fashionable designs available these days in cashmere, knit, fleece and fur. One stop at Boots can certainly do the trick and help you stay within your budget (surely one of you New Year’s resolutions, as is mine):

Don’t forget to check the men’s section in department stores. That’s where I found mine a few years ago, lovely stripes in earth tones all set in soft cashmere:



My other resolution is to finally learn to knit; let’s see if I keep it and can make a cover for my houseguests water bottle by next winter.

Stay warm!
