Beating the Baltic Weather

It's been very cold out here this week.  It was worst on Wednesday (I think) at -16 and I have been forced to unearth my snow pants for the school run despite looking like a depressed Teletubby, so much for glamorous Apres-ski style.

Yesterday I got fed up of constant complaints about cold chins and abandoned all non-essential jobs to make neck warmers for the kids.  Not very exciting as they are made from leftovers, Jacob's from his dressing gown and Rose's from a pair of socks I knitted Tom a few years ago, but I think they'll do the job.

Look, even Rose is having problems with style in this weather.
