I don't know if the UK ever gets down that far, maybe someone could enlighten me.<br />Top n (and) tail has a few meanings, like cutting off both ends of a vegetable, several children sleeping in a bed head to toe like sardines, washing a baby's face and bottom, but here I'm using to round off an outfit at both ends with the same colour. Not the name of the scarf but please read Stephanie's comment for some interesting suggestions! <br />It's a clever design as it curls around itself which anchors it in place and makes it snug and warm around the neck. I'll have to ask my coz if she remembers where she got it?<br /><br />thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-66608340816345219732017-01-23T01:41:13.667+00:002017-01-23T01:41:13.667+00:00Mary, I just did the math-and 3C is about 37 degre...Mary, I just did the math-and 3C is about 37 degrees Fahrenheit. In a Missouri winter, that is like the tropics. A couple of weeks ago I subbed for our school librarian and went to work when it was 6F which is -14C. Not my idea of perfect weather for get out in. <br /><br />I will say Top-n-Tail is one of the coolest phrases I had heard. It that a certain kind of scarf or just the name of any type of faux fur scarf? I love the way yours is all curled around your neck.

And yes, I can totally see the snake wearing the fur coat!!!<br />I have no idea if the whatsit has a bespoke name. It was a pressie from my Double Cousin many years back, so I didn't have the benefit of a shop lady calling it something. But whatever it's name, it is so lovely, so warm, and so used!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-25272533798712166822017-01-22T13:23:05.671+00:002017-01-22T13:23:05.671+00:00Loving the neck whatsit - looks a bit like a snake...Loving the neck whatsit - looks a bit like a snake wearing a fur coat, if one could imagine such a thing....Stephanie Gau thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975359802571004043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-41079361300993444172017-01-22T08:44:44.567+00:002017-01-22T08:44:44.567+00:00Hi Janet, you are too kind!
