Winter Wonderland is an excellent description, a gem of a morning which you have caught beautifully.

Insert between top layer of clothing and the layer underneath with her head sticking out of the neck!

Occasionally she curls up without her head sticking out, which gave Mick a big shock one evening when he walked into the living room to see me looking hugely pregnant - until he realised the 'belly' was purring!!
