Due to the cold weather this type of headgear was necessary on my visit to Leeds Castle.
I didn’t take the original photo, but I created a little bit of magic on it to convert it to black and white with soft edges

Oh… I thought that was Boris sitting on your head during a bloggers’ meet-up round at Jams’ place. I am getting visually confused today (it just happened to me at Jams’ place too)… Is it too late for me to recover from this bout of rudeness by saying “Oh what a lovely hat”?
It must be Boris in disguise then, wrong colouring…
It is never too late to recover from a bout of rudeness, you just need to grovel a lot
Wrong colouring? A strange claim after you had said “but I created a little bit of magic on it to convert it to black and white”. I reckoned the “colouring” could hardly be trusted with your magic about. But OK. Not Boris. So… Bebe? Robyn? Both? And balanced rather precariously I’d say (having decided against the grovelling and just to stick with what I’m best at – the rudeness)
Oops! wrong word, I should have said wrong markings for Boris…
Ahh! ‘not to late’ and ‘choosing not to’ recover from a bout of rudeness are two different things entirely
Reminds me of that old line they use to teach little children… what was it? Oh yes, “The cats sat and made a hat.” Yes, I think that was it, Two cleverly curled tails there. Very good. I am surprised I’m the only one to spot what was really going on there.
Une belle lumière. Un très beau contraste. Un très beau portait!
Thank you so much
That lady’s not going to freeze.
Not on her life
WHat a delightful portrait Cherie!
Thank you Jams
Ahhhh, it has to be ‘Lara’s theme’ from – Doctor Zhivago !
You would match Julie Christie as Lara, any day, Cherie.
Thank you Bernard, that is very sweet of you
That’s a lovely portraiture Cherie! We wear those here too if it gets to -20C or more.
It wasn’t quite that chilly at the castle
That’s a lovely photo. You look so relaxed and happy.
It was a nice relaxing weekend after some hassles
At first glance I thought this was a post on a WW2 Ilyushin fighter pilot, CP.
LOL I see what you mean, but it is probably just as well that I am not piloting a plane
