Winter definitely arrived in London over the weekend.  On Sunday morning, when I woke up, there it was snowing.  Snowing!  Okay, so it was only a light dusting and it’d all melted by midday, but there’s nothing like getting back under the duvet and watching snowflakes drift down outside the window.  It gives me hope that we will get our white Christmas in Scotland next month.

Anyway, I wrapped up warm, with a coat and scarf, and headed out to Sainsburys for food.  I wasn’t really intending on buying a smoothie, but when I saw this one, wearning it’s very own woollen hat, I couldn’t resist. Apparently, it’s all part of Innocent’s Big Knit campaign.  People round the country knit hats for the smoothie bottles, and 50p from each one sold goes to Age Concern – with the aim of keeping older people warm over the winter months.

Not quite sure what I’m going to do with the hat now I’m done with the smoothie.  Though it is about the right size to keep my injured fingers warm. Knowing how many gloves and scarves I lost on tubes and trains last winter, I’m going to keep it as a back up, just in case.
