Of course, I do make some of them myself, but the summer straw hat is beyond me. I cling to a rapidly aging wide-brimmed bonnet, bought perhaps in the last century.<br /><br />Someday I might encounter a stylish, affordable, challenger to this wardrobe gem.<br /><br />Moving on. I remember the original UK tv import to our shores of Mapp and Lucia. Geraldine McEwan, Prunella Scales and Nigel Hawthorne. Of course, I then read all the books, and eventually, on one of my UK trips made my way to Rye. Of course, Henry James was also part of the inspiration for this day trip. Lucille, I took lots and lots of photographs, that led to some paintings when I got home.<br />Interesting to see that there was 2014 television version. The lead actresses are among my favorites, so I hope that eventually our Public Broadcasting Service will buy the series, and let us view this update.<br /><br />Back to the present tense. Some of the hats for sale by vendors along the NYC sidewalks are about as stylish as those costing much, Much more in the shops. But I am still holding out.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-85431889191370478822015-07-21T22:21:51.273+01:002015-07-21T22:21:51.273+01:00Titf for tat = hat.
