Try and avoid the Anglicans in winter as they cannot tell the difference between an ancient monument and a place of worship.

Find out where yr local evangelicals hang out and they'll make you welcome even as a cold refugee. The heating will work and you may even get a cup of coffee. No biscuit and cheap wine though.

If the happy clappers are a bit too much then there are always the Methodists.

Not the Baptists though - the only heating they are aware if is in another place.

If my mother's lot are anything to go by the Catholics come with interior CHS as standard.

fwiw 29 December 1970 I was in Canterbury cathedral. The cold was eternal.

I was wearing a coat, scarf and gloves this morning in church.
And the heating was ON.

NO heating up here in the loft.

? ?????? ????? (s dough-breem oo-trum). (*)

It is only a bit chilly, turn up the heating a tad and wear a hat outside.
I used to work near Chelyabinsk in Russia where the winter really is long and hard
and the summers short. This morning there it is -9C about the same as Twickers yesterday afternoon.

(*) good morning

A light dusting of snow here and more falling now near Channel coast.
I'm sitting here with 2 fleece jackets on top of each other, as this part of the house has no heating.

Roll on spring. I too hate being cold.

Hello Jean, hope you are ok, I am just off to bed lol I would love an electric blanket but o.h. hates being too warm in bed. I wear layers in bed as well as when I am up and about, the only way to keep snug even if I look like Michelin man.

Take care and stay warm

I hate being cold, I have my electric blanket on and love going back to bed in the afternooon and sleep very well , I do suffer from night cramps, but find with pills and the warmth from my e/blanket a huge help just wish I could sleep longer than 6 ish every day..... waves to Liz~~~~~~~

love jean x

Lol Marilyn, we are Norfolk Dumplings not Suffolk swedes, what you doing with swede boots lol Safe travelling and happy homecoming!

This house of o.h.'s is not centrally heated so it isn't that warm, but instead of slippers I wear those soft fleece type boots that aren't really suitable for outside if it's wet but keep my toes and ankles lovely and warm indoors. They have lasted for ages because I only wear them inside (well except for just stepping outside to put bird food out or something) and I have a new purple pair (a fiver inTescos last year) for when these ones fall apart.

I can't stand being cold.
