Perched above my cupboard in a fluffy pile of dust sit a couple of brown boxes. They have patterned wallpaper glued to the front (aesthetic reasons only, and not integral to this post) and a tag that reads 'summer'. I'm almost ready to ready to pull them down, refill them with woolies re-label that tag to say 'winter'. That is until I step into the shade and remember it's still cold where the sun don't shine. The brown box is on stand-by, though, ready to go anytime now.
