Its one of those days when it is warmer out than in, we don't want to put
the heating on just yet - seems a bit early - but right now I have to say

recommendations re. thermal underwear to wear when gardening and at any
other time come to that :-)

I can't wear wool, so when I used to ski I used to get silk longjohns etc.
from Patra. They lasted for years and I used to wear them for sailing early
in the year, too. I don't find it gets cold enough often enough down here
to need them now but I'd certainly look into those again if I were in your,
er.....shoes. ;-)

I had a Danish friend who wore Helly Hansen thermal undies when she sailed.

There's posh. ;-) But they're not natural fibre and while I know they're
constructed so as to breathe, I think I'd rather go for the silk, myself.
