I call it the Aberdeen Hat because the grey reminds me of granite (Aberdeen
is the Granite City), the gold is the beautiful beach and the blue/green is
the lovely colour of the sea there. Aberdeen is also in Scotland - quite a
long way north - and although this hat is triangular it's not unlike a Scots
bonnet although without the toorie.
We both wore it at different times, here's Spouse.
We had an enjoyable time in Aberdeen, visiting the Maritime Museum on two
days because it was too interesting to miss anything and taking part in
Tartan Day, which involved twelve pipe bands marching down the long,
straight, Union Street. They heralded Rex Splendidus, a pageant with several
horses and glorious C16th clothing for the ladies and splendid armour for
the knights. It was to commemorate the visit of James IV to the city in
1507.
Sadly, while we were there, my mother died. I was told on my return and have
had to deal with various things since then. Mum was 96 and died peacefully,
leaving me as the Mater Familias. Hmm, I don't know that I like being the
oldest of everyone else!

Hm. I seem only to be able to upload one picture. I'll try again later.

My condolences Mary. 96 is a fine innings.
