The weather is slowly becoming cooler. Recently my morning walk to work forced me to dig out my autumn scarf and my winter coat as I’ve found it much easier to wear it over a top or tee than to wrap up in a cardigan or jumper and then sweat to death…

But alas my coat is becoming a little worn and no longer feels as smart as it once did so the hunt, that was totally unsuccessful last year, begins again. I’ve picked out a few possible contenders including one which really appeals but is not all that practical for a very cold winter. Perhaps I can stretch to two this year, after all I didn’t buy one last year did I.
