Duvets or sheets and blankets?

Post by Northern Lass »

Do you remember when Duvets came in?
We had a swiss family move in next door in the 70's and they had these Duvets
marvellous!!
so trendy
we still had the flannelette sheets and eider downs

Do you have Duvets or sheets and Blankets
and do you have an electric blanket?
those lilos are quite comfy to lie on .....in an emergency

There was four in the bed in the fifties with dads army coat over us, and blankets up at the windows to help keep the light and the cold out.
