When Everyone Wore A Hat...

The good old days when everyone wore a hat…

Talking of hats, as a lad I remember my mum taking off her pinny and putting on a hat and coat just to nip to the neighbour next door.

I may have said this before but my mother told me that many times she would be running back home as the church bells were ringing for her hat and gloves as she had to pass her grandmother's house and if her grandmother saw her out without hat and gloves she knew that her father would get told off.

I went to a football match on Saturday, I wore a cap, it kept the sun out of my eyes.

Amazing where all of those hats/caps went. In our immediate family there were no cap/ hat wearers! My uncle Johnny wore one, he was an MI6 person and my uncle Dick who was a farmer greengrocer wore a cap but they married in. I did find a cap once in our house when I was about 14, it fit nicely, my mother told me it would make me bald! My dermatologist told me to wear a wide brimmed hat when I go out into the sun. I’m 82 and still have some hair!
