Ho, ho, ho .... Merry Christmas Pére Nöel. Are there any department stores near you who need a Father Christmas Cro ? You would make a brilliant one. XXXX
Very distinguished in my view. If you were a famous explorer/adventurer/sailor or the like people would just admire the 'craggy' look. I find you very attractive in that garb - no fears Lady M - I am on my last legs here and rarely travel further than the nearest town.
You wear it well. Bet it keeps your pate toasty warm. It's turned sharpish cold here, we had snow between Sunday evening and Monday morning, and it' s not all melted away yet.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
i'm with Lady M. Off to the Arctic?
ReplyDeleteIt's bloody freeeeeeeeezing here!
ReplyDeleteBear trapping? It is 7c here at the moment..it was 0c yesterday!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of one of those Pathe News war clips. Having said that....like the hat Cro. It looks as though it has seen some life.
ReplyDeleteDavey Crockett, king of the wild frontier comes to mind. You need to be of a certain generation to understand the reference.
ReplyDeleteVery fetching hat, Cro. It's just missing the raccoon's tail.
Cro of the Wilderness ??
ReplyDeleteThe sunshine is very deceptive.
ReplyDeleteWhere are your goggles Biggles ?
ReplyDeleteI left them in the plane.
DeleteVery stylish!
ReplyDeleteComme toujours.
DeleteAny man who wears a hat should have a thick skin too.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to get a-head, get a hat.
DeleteI've got one of these speciMEN. A bearded one with a hat very similar.
ReplyDeleteHe's not allowed to wear it when we're out together.
Nor am I Patricia; strictly for chez nous.

ReplyDeleteI have the suit.
DeleteNot unlike Sir Vivian Fuchs:-

Frankly I'm surprised that I didn't have similar icicles on my beard.
DeleteNanook of the north
ReplyDeleteHer brother.
DeleteI like the hat; it looks like just the thing for a cold morning walk.
ReplyDeleteEssential Jennifer.

ReplyDeleteEven we painters are a bit 'craggy' occasionally. I'm on my last legs too.
DeleteHe, or she, that does the dog walk first thing in the morning deserves some leeway in hat-wear. It's been a bit parky the last few days.
ReplyDeleteIt was all white again this morning, with a very cold clinging fog. No sunshine at all today.
DeleteYou look like the wild man of the woods or Davy Crockett's grandad.

ReplyDeleteAdorable. You will definitely turn heads...
ReplyDeleteStylish! what were you looking at?
ReplyDeleteHis Parisian, get the tractor in, neighbours from hell...
DeleteI'm 71 and the older I get the less I care what others think I want comfort and warmth, no longer a slave to fashion. Looks good and warm.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree.
DeleteThat photo turned my day into sunshine. Been raining most of the day here
ReplyDeleteGiven this morning's weather...
ReplyDeletejust the garb!
Given the rain for the rest of the day...
Deletea sou'wester would have been better!
Our rain arrives today, I believe.
Deletegot my husband a similar hat and he wouldn't wear it. Shackleton would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteYou wear it well. Bet it keeps your pate toasty warm. It's turned sharpish cold here, we had snow between Sunday evening and Monday morning, and it' s not all melted away yet.
ReplyDeleteYou look like that Warner Brothers cartoon character Elmer Fudd
ReplyDeleteAre you sure?
