    I slept on top of the duvet all night last night beanielou. It must have been hot because I usually wake up cold in the night.

    I like the sound of those coverless duvets, but yikes £90 for a 4.5 tog King size. I will have to make do for the moment.

    Strawberries sound lovely, I haven't got the energy to go and get any sadly.

    mmmmm strawberries. I also bought Scottish strawberries if you can believe what the label says….they were delicious though wherever they were from.
    Ive missed my garden strawberries this year. I took all my plants down to Dd at the beginning of the year.
