I hope the photo accompanying the article ‘Caravan is Home Sweet Home' (The Weekend Sun, Friday July 17) was taken in the summer!

The three-year-old had bare feet and only a T-shirt on. There is an excellent op-shop within walking distance of anyone living in Bethlehem, which has a lot of warm socks, jerseys etc, at the cost of a ‘rollie'.

Warm feet and a warm head go a long way to keeping chills and ills away, as does a good old-fashioned singlet.

I don't have as much as the ‘haves', but I am not as badly off as the ‘have nots', and these situations do pull at the heart strings. I don't buy luxuries at the expense of nourishing veges; ‘rollies' I am assuming being a luxury.
