It seems to have no bearing on the contours of her head! Mind you, when I did my nurse training in London I wore a ridiculous creation and its amazing what you can do with 150 hair grips! She would have looked better if she had swopped it with the flower pot on the table!!!

I promise that tomorrow I'll post anothe photo of the same lady wearing a tea-cosy!  Problem now is that I've drunk more than my fair share of a bottle of champagne to celebrate my 17th wedding anniversary, and can no longer navigate...  ::)

LOL enjoy yourself Rambler!!  Look forward to seeing the tea-cozy when you are sober able  ;D

That hat is truly horrifying  :o :o :o  Looks like about 1910 to me, that's when ridiculously enormous hats came into vogue.

A collection of absolutely wonderful photographs - had to laugh out loud at some of them. Bit worried about yours though, Bob. Are you SURE that isn't your grandmother?

Afraid my ancestors had absolutely no sense of style :(

Keep them coming!

My Late Mother use to say, "If you can't fight, wear a big hat" ;D ;D
But she looks like she can!
