Umm, I think if I saw anyone wearing those masks outside that they were about to rob some store haha.

Honestly, i haven’t come across anybody wearing balaclavas these days. Strange but true. The only ones i am seeing are on TV where the ‘bad guys’ wear them But if i were to wear one, it would be near or during Halloween. But come to think of it..who cares anyway…I may as well wear a pair of sunglasses altogether so that no one recognizes me!

If it’s only half as cold this winter as last one then I’m definitely going to be getting a balaclava….. though not necessarily one complete with muffler, lipstick and ponytails!

I thought that the word Balaclava originated from a place one the Black Sea in Ukraine. The British Army was stationed there and it was so cold and miserable that they kept dying... then British women sent these woolly masks to Balaclava for the troops. .-= Sofie @ Evening Shawls´s Last Fabulous Post blog ..Carla Bruni’s Camel Evening Shawl =-.

I love balaclavas when I skiing but if I was to wear on in the winter where I live it wouldnt be taken too well…people would definitely get the wrong idea!

hahaha! Hi Cherlock,
Strawbreeze and bluebreeze…too funny! Your mother-in-law was a very special person. I love how you’re remembering her!

I delight in saying UM-brella instead of um-BRELL-a. Even better, “I’m missing my left wellie and has anyone seen my brolley?”

Hard to believe it’s the same language sometimes.

Let’s stay connected,
Cheryl

I’m afraid that here, they would indeed arrest me! I am cold from October until April so I wouldn’t mind trying it, that’s for sure. My mother-in-law was from London and if any of us said the word strawberries, she would correct us by say strawbreeze. She did likewise with blueberries, etc. Since she has passed, the entire family pays homage to her when together and pronounce words “Mum”s way.”

You would definitely get some funny looks…especially if you wore the pink one. I noticed a design flaw – no nose holes. haha!
