Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Contender for the holy grail of mummy coats?

Am new to all this mummy business and this is my first winter pushing a buggy. Came on here to search about where to find a warm coat which covers my bum and has a hood and will keep out the rain . . . and discovered lots of threads from mummies already looking!

Best one I have seen so far is here

www.bestinthecountry.co.uk/Aigle_Sugey_Trench_Coat_8534.aspx

but it is a bit spendy - would be grateful for your seasoned opinions before I take it to the purchasing committee aka DH!

TIA smile

Oh I like it. Pricey though. But then I ahve too many coats that are just not quite right so cannot justify anything other than charity shop bargains.

Am sorry, it makes me reel. Pleased for you that others disagree with me. smile

I have this one this year.

It is quite heavy, but fits beautifully, and is really warm.

I got this a couple of weeks ago and can't recommend it enough. It's really cosy without being bulky. Belts don't normally suit me but this one looks fine for some reason. Maybe because it's not too high up as they often are.
I got it on that Sam Turner website and it was a nice speedy delivery.

I usually take a 12 and have bought the size 12 (I think it comes as EU 40). It fits me fine around the waist/chest, however if I was wearing a thick fleece under it I would find it a bit tight around the tops of my arms.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
