I wonder whether, in the days when people predominantly travelled on horseback, a rider trotting along the road might have watched one of the earliest motorcars pass him and called out to his friend behind the wheel, "Tom, you're cheating!"

Overnight we finally finished the first iteration of our instructions for folding and tying our four in hand knot on our silk scarves. Now, there must be one hundred and fifty ways to use a silk scarf, from knots to face coverings, to tops. But this is how I get the most practical and fashionable use out of them and it is a good start. So, buckle up, time to clear the dining room table and flatten out your scarf face down and practice practice practice... until it is like riding a bike.

Anyway, he got his first scarf from us, our Alpine stamps scene from the back country. A beautiful scarf, and I needed him to have something very Australian, it was either that one or the idyllic of Tony T scarf, and I was waiting to see how he might pair it. He sent these to me today. So impressed. It’s like if John Wayne had a love child and shipped him off to Australia to learn how to drove.
