Hay needed some new walking boots, so we went to WH Thomas & Son in Wotton Under Edge yesterday, the best shop in 100 miles for excellent priced walking gear, workwear and the kind of stuff you could get in Rawcliffe's in the 60s and 70s - gentlemen's jeans, flat caps and all manner of farmer regalia.
I was having a mooch around and found some beautiful, Black Yak, brushed cotton dressing gowns that are handmade in Nepal.
Very long, all-embracing and with a hood - perfect for winter. Not only that, but WH Thomas sell them for £35, which is a fiver cheaper than Black Yak sell them on their own website.
I was ecstatic about them, so Hay got me one for Christmas. Absolutely love it - there's something Qui-Gon Jinn about it. Need to look for a lightsaber next.
As an aside, have you noticed that it's a lightsaber (American spelling) and not a lightsabre (English spelling)?
These are not the droids you're looking for, by the way.
