When I got here January early this year. I did not bother bringing so much stuffs from back home. The jeans though for the cold weather, extra leggings and tights when it gets cold.
The heating was turn into stun while I am adjusting to the cold, wrapped in fleece coats while hubby goes around the house in boxers and sweating (sexy)
But surely your wife will get used to it.. Its late september and its over 25 degrees here in Sussex so hopefully it will be that bad for your mahal.
