WINTER
WARMERS

Winter Warmers

by Stienie Greyling

ith coronavirus cases
continuing across the
Wcountry, it would be wise,
should the weather allow it, to spend
time outdoors this winter for any kind of
socialising, as it is safest option.
To help stay warm for hours at a time
at outdoor birthday parties, first dates and
family celebrations, outdoor gas heaters and
fire pits are a valid excuse to be outdoors.
Since human bodies lose heat when
they are not moving, loose blankets and
throws can be placed on outdoor furniture
for guests to sit on or wrap around their
legs when sitting.

Fireplaces.
A beautiful fireplace not only gives a
warm feeling to a room – its architectural
style sets the tone for the rest of the
space. A funky hanging fireplace can be
swivelled to direct the heat anywhere in
the room.
