Red coat

With the early morning temperatures causing shivers in our century-old home, it was time to take out a cosy coat to wear to church this morning.
    All-wool in its fabric content, this 80's coat kept me warm throughout the service. I bought it in the North-Yorkshire town of Pickering in January 2001 where the day temperature never exceded 4 degrees while I was visiting. It was on a sale at the Red Cross charity shop and I paid 8 pounds for it. There were other bargains to be had in this town sporting 5 charity shops and it cost quite a bit of money to ship all the acquisitions back to PE.
    Here Irma Weyers is wearing this "old faithful" (refer: Down Memory Lane fashion show).
