Does anyone else have an old item of clothing they simply can’t bear to throw out, because it is so comforting? I have a thick cotton cardigan I bought in Whistles sale years ago, and although it is now so loose I can wrap it round twice I just can’t let it go. It is warm, but not prickly like wool, so I can wear it in the summer as well as the winter. It has been thrown on over a swimsuit, served as a bed jacket and a dressing gown, covered a sleeping child, been sat on at a picnic, and it’s what I wear when the evenings get a bit cooler when I’m reading or watching tv. If I have a cold or I’m feeling a bit sorry for myself it’s what I always pull out of my wardrobe. I’m just packing it to take on a seaside chalet holiday next week, because it goes over everything.
