The Bowler Hat

"She put the bowler hat back on her head and had a long look at herself. She was amazed at the number of years she had spent pursuing one lost moment."
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

I bought a hat at the weekend. It's a vintage bowler hat made in Paris and despite being slightly too small for me to wear properly, it's a thing of beauty.

Expect to see more of it.

I hate photos of my face - all I see are imperfections, but I'm reasonably pleased with this photo and the alternative.
