T’ai chi and top fashion for travellers
The temperature today
won’t go up past 27
so the forecast says.
This morning
I wore a cardigan just for fun.
But every day so far
demands a sunhat for the sun
so I don my ultra-adorable
Issey Miyake bonnet
it squashes into a pocket
and pops out like new.
Once I realised and accepted
that I would always look bizarre
(even more so) under its shade
it became my daily darling.
Sorry, sweetie pleaty.
You deserve better than this.
You’re the tops.
You deserve a sonnet.

Love that bonnet.
Hi Rachel – those outdoor spaces obviously inspire … just enjoy and the bonnet sounds perfect. Cheers Hilary
It’s a great bonnet! You need to export them. They would sell like hotcakes.
Me? I only bought it. Issey Miyake is a glorious designer in Japan.
Could we have a photo of rachel in her bonnet??
Oo that’s a big ask!
Ps Thank you for reading my blog!
