Thank you! They really are so soft and warm, and if I was going to wear fleece dungarees I thought I might as well push the boat out and go for the cute pattern as well :)

Thank you re the hernia. I've only just realized that I shouldn't have expected it to have healed itself over the summer, and that it will probably be with me permanently, so lifestyle changes may be required to manage it. Embracing a new style will be fun at least :)
