Thanks gparry. I kind of imagine that she will need that kind of thing in particular. I think she thinks she will have to be wrapped up like an eskimo but I dont think it will be necessary.I am trying to plan for a shopping trip as soon as she gets off her flight in Manchester next week. So I think the sort of thing you mention will need to be on the list. Having said all this, we are due a heat wave this coming week. Warmer weather here all week.
