Be gentle, an ex-military man asking me to be gentle? Seriously? How could I not? A fine specimen of an Aloha shirt if ever there was one, and a magnificent titfer to go with it, (cockney rhyming slang, titfer....tit for tat, hat.)My first time. Please be gentle. It's a Royal Creations I picked up cheap from eBay. The Panama is a 50s Wormser also an eBay find.

Wow, what a shirt!We are off to the Twinwood Festival tomorrow. Twinwood is named after the former RAF base that was there during WW2, and the RAF named their base after the farm that the base was housed on, Twinwood farm. What so special about Twinwood? It is the RAF airfield that a certain Glenn Miller took off from, never to be seen again. His service record still reports him as "missing."
It's a great event, and it looks like we are going to be blessed with good weather. You can see photos from previous years if you Google Twinwood. And for Twinwood I have a new shirt, woke up this morning to find that the shirt fairy had been overnight. Not a floral shirt but one in keeping with early aviators. It features biplanes. I took a couple of photos, then, kid that I am, tried it on, matched with the powder blue fedora that Esther made for me.

Dang, matching shoes and pants, great looks GHT.Another great Twinwood, but the heat, the thermometer hit 93F degrees, I think that's about 33C, strange isn't it? Celsius should be so easy, zero is freezing and one hundred is boiling, but when I hear 33C it just doesn't compute, is that hot, or what? Sorry, I digress. Here's a few of the shirts and hats that I wore, taken outside the hotel that we stayed at. Camping? Us? As my missus jokingly says: "One has standards."
On the last photo she said: "Don't hide your belly with your hand, suck it in!" Cheek!

Actually, I had realised that, over time on an internet forum, names become people, and the character of those people start to surface. That is why your compliment felt like someone saying in it in life. Just as though we might meet for coffee at lunchtime and you said your kind words, I would have replied as I did here.Actually, I couldn't. I don't freely throw compliments around.

True sales people never flatter, they get to know and understand their customer/client, and use that knowledge to their advantage, but playing to the weakness of vanity would never be in a true sales professional's script.
