I am doing so through LL BEAN in the U.S. I have several Scottish friends who recommended them and said "buy your thermals in the states not in England." I was also told to layer my clothing: silk thermals, flannel lined jeans, turtlenecks and sweaters under a down jacket, and really good warm waterproof winter walkers. I found it all in the LL BEAN catalog. They started out as outfitters for Gloucester, Maine fisherman and back woods folks. Best of luck to you and hope to see you both on the cut.Jaqueline Almdalehttp://truelovelfoats.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498846366962876974.post-63034590350542293732011-05-02T18:20:23.624+01:002011-05-02T18:20:23.624+01:00Hi Paul and Elaine

Its very warm on board in the winter and you get warm doing all the locks. We have never been fitter.Derek and Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535441662037100577noreply@blogger.com
