Even though the temperatures haven’t been as cool as they should be for this time of year, the evenings are definitely becoming a bit nippy. And we all know that it’s simply a matter of time before the single figure temperatures arrive.
It’s around now that Justin gets all his pairs of long johns out for the season – a season that can last for almost 6 months – he loves wearing them so much!
He first started wearing them back when we lived in Brighton. There was a little army surplus shop that stocked long johns from armies across Europe. He had some army green ones from the British army that were fairly low warmth; they were good for the summer into autumn months. Once we had a dog that needed to be taken out in all weathers, I bought him some Swedish army ones – they’re super warm and provide much needed insulation during Pennine hillside winters!
