We are now advised to prepare for really, really cold weather this weekend. It's only a few days away, so I will begin planning my layering.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-26490101371531040142016-02-09T20:27:16.773+00:002016-02-09T20:27:16.773+00:00We were just remarking the other day how everythin...We were just remarking the other day how everything that used to be called Awful Weather now seems to be a Storm......
