Today is a beautiful sunny autumn day and the leaves are turning a million colors. I usually wear my CB in the summer time because it becomes alive in the sunlight. However this beautiful day inspired me to put it on after a few months in the bank. What a great piece. Better than I remembered.

Have a great weekend my friends. Let’s see you FPJ pieces or just come by and say hi!

I’m off now to have tea with my mum for a few hours. She is isolated again because of the Covid coming back. Then an early dinner with my best, oldest friend. A really wonderful Friday.

Stay safe dear friends

But not such a terrific memory. Every time you wear your CB you say the same thing! It’s a beauty!

As I’ve mentioned before versatility rules when on the road and the CB has that for sure. So, in memory of days of travel gone by here’s one from a security line at an airport (something I don’t miss so much!). Also, going stealth with the navy strap !
