London Hat Week has been running since 2014. Annoyingly, it always clashed with one of the festivals that we go to. London Hat Week is an event that we are keen to attend, so, we decided to give it a go this year only to find that the organisers were overwhelmed by the popularity of the event and in 2023 they took a hiatus. We shall have to see if they return in 2024. I do hope so.

In 1887 Jacob Rieger started J. Rieger & Co, a whiskey distillery in Kansas City, MO & quickly became the largest mail order whiskey distillery in the US. By 1915 Rieger had opened the Rieger Hotel with a bar serving beer & his Rye whiskey. Once hyped as being the largest mail-order whiskey house in the United States, all was lost during the dry days of Prohibition.

Thirsty days hath September,
April, June and November;
All the rest are thirsty, too;
And what’s a thirsty (wo)man to do?
Drink J. Rieger’s Whiskey! Salut!

Some photos of my family when they were fresh off the boat. I've no idea who any of these people are other than the fact that they're related to me in some way.
