MordonnaRe: SC - Staying warm without a cloak

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

I must say, that I think everyone else's advice to this lady was better than 
mine.  While a kinsale cloak is simple to make, your idea Mordonna is much 
more practical..... Vivat!

 Layers of woolen material, ala a scots woman's "piece of plaid" work 
wonders. 
  Simply drape them around you like shawls.  I have cloaks, but most of the 
 time I wear my piece of plaid.  Another secret to staying warm is to keep 
the 
 feet warm and dry.  Difficult in snowy/slushy conditions, but if you don't 
 have good waterproof boots, try a layer of socks, covered with a layer of 
 plastic (bread bags are good things) followed by another layer of socks and 
 another of plastic inside your shoes.   And don't forget to keep your head 
 covered with the piece of plaid.
