Well, would ya believe it?

On one of those rare days, at the moment, when the heavens didn't open and we didn't have rain, I came to the conclusion I needed to get out. Stuck in the house for several days had made me stir crazy, I needed a walk. 
The woods now resemble a mud bath for hippos, so they were out. I had bills to pay so taking the car through the flooded lanes, I went into Aylesford, dumped it off and walked into town.
It's a pleasant wander and dry by comparison!
Having completed various bank runs I decided to wander towards Fremlin Walk, a posh part of the shopping centre in town. I fancied a peruse at the Manga section in the bookshop so window shopped as I went.
Super dry caught my eye;

It was the jacket which caught my eye not the skirt or t-shirt. 
Looking like the old camel coats of the 70s, I laughed and remembered how those skins reeked after rain. How we wore them everywhere and the pungent odour of camel dung permiated the air. Long skirts, low tops, bangles and platform shoes/boots, with added patchouli oil.
At least these days the tastes are less smelly.
