The UK home office of the company I recently started working for was originally located in Edinburgh and as such has Edinburgh in the company name. I had discussed with a friend who lived not to too far from the area about a future visit. I did not realize until the other day that the office is now located in South of London. Would have been something if I had made travel plans to visit and then realized I was a good 8 or 9 hours from the office. :D
You can fly between the two capitals, it takes about an hour and a quarter. How long checking in and security takes is anyone's guess. Shop around and you can find an airline ticket for around £35. By train takes about five hours,. There's good deals on train fares too, if you know where to look. I found a deal for just £15.
I have just noticed that the time has gone past midnight. I am off to bed.
Happy Easter to you all.

Quick jaunt across the picket lines since there was a Johnny Horton reference the other day. Brought up childhood memories of listening to him on cassette tape in the car with my mom. Thanks @T Jones.

Lots of hats worn the past few months but the old Knox (here you go @Pkyoakum) and Stetson No. 1 got the call most days:

Maybe I'll be back with the soon to arrive No. 1, but probably won't be for a while so catch me while you can today.

Hope all are well and wishing everyone the best! Peace, love, and understanding.
Hola, Jonathan. Haven't seen you in a while

It was a Rick @quickrick day today. A walk down to the harbour in my no-name Rat Pack Pork Pie.

The sun has finally found northern Europe again :cool:

Nice bit of sunshine as well there, Steve. And a nice chamois finish on the felt; beautiful.
Having a hat size of seven and three quarters has always meant a limited choice, but that all changed some years ago when Tina and I visited Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh. There we discovered https://www.fabhatrix.com/ What a find it proved to be for both of us. I left Tina in the store to single handedly keep the British economy on track, whilst one of their staff measured me for a bespoke hat. Such was the finish that I have three of their hats. Here's two of them:

Sometime ago we had a milliner on The Lounge name of Esther Weis, Esther made three bespoke hats for me, one felt and two straw. Here's the felt one:

When my wife, Tina, was in the market for a hat to wear to our friend's wedding she came across Cheryl, a milliner in Dorchester. What a find that was:

Have you noticed the travel theme? First two depict travel paraphernalia such as trunks suitcases and destination labels. The third one is all about, those magnificent men in their flying machines. And finally, the last three, the golden age of travel, cruise liners, steam trains and far off destinations.
Bon Voyage!
A wonderful parade of hats and shirts, Robert. I do feel for the larger sized members of the lounge; must be tough to see all those vintage hats but almost never in your size.

Fantastic hat, Brent.

Lovely hat and it works for you open crown. I wouldn't be able to restrain myself from creasing it though:)

Marvelous, Alan. And a petting hat as well.

Fabulous line up as always Stefan, if I could choose I would go for the Vimenet, Blue &white blazer 006.JPG
How it would compliment my blazer when I take Tina out to lunch later.
We are going to break our Lenten abstinence and enjoy meat and alcohol
once more. Roast beef and a glass of claret. Happy Easter.

I dropped off a pound of coffee at my neighbor's house. She spoke to me on my dog soire about heading over for some needed coffee later this morning. She microwaved some old coffee this morning, before her stroll around the lake. A true sign of desperation. I wore a vintage Stetson OR for my special delivery.
