I was walking out of the hospital today and there was a terrible wind I closed my mouth and tried to breath through my nose I couldn't manage that In the warm windy weather what do you cover your mouth with as it's to hot for a scarf x

I'm sad to say, Taffydaffy, that I've not experienced any warm wind this year. But last year I can recall cupping my hand over my nose and mouth to shield me from the worst of the wind helped. The weather here is still cold enough to get away with scarf wearing for the time being. It'll be interesting to see what others do, though. :)

Bandanas and cowboy boots with stirrups for on my mobility scooter :)

A doctor told me if you blow in a baby's face they stop breathing, a similar thing happens when we get a strong wind in our faces. Plus the change of temperature from that nice gentle warmth they manage to maintain in hospital (joking) to the chill factor outside all make breathing hard work.

Walking with the wind a pleasure, walking against it torture

Lol so funny made me giggle x

If anyone comes up with a practical answer I would be grateful, the wind in my husbands face completely flaws him and has been the cause of a number of panic attacks! TAD xx

As I can only wear natural fibres I have a fine cashmere (best family present ever) and a fine cotton one for when it's windy - also useful for ducking and diving to avoid cig, car and lorry fumes

Would masks be useful? Perhaps we could design some lung foundation wind/pollution masks. It would probably frighten the horses, though... Alison

OK Daz, I've been run out of town with my hands up. Just one thing ... wouldn't two dust masks make a better bra than a bandana? Taffydaffy I'm not sure about colours. Green would be too much like coughing product. We could have ones that change colour with our moods. That could be a warning to anyone! Have a good night's sleep. Alison
