Getting Ahead Already

The Barbour wax cap has arrived already; Sam the postman delivered it at lunchtime. It's perfect.

I cycled into Town this afternoon to have a rummage around Ross's auction house - nothing of interest. Abandoning the bike opposite W H Smith the stationers, I had a look at their social stationery, Three Candlesticks still being my favoured writing-paper. It was awfully busy, what with the blighted back-to-school crowd.
