My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck By Lightning
The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Motives, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.
Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?
A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.
Nigel Cabourn - The Desert Rats Collection Spring 2012
As you might expect the collection has strong military influences, featuring various officers’ jackets, vests, and combat smocks. Camouflage makes a return to the range, as well as some new ‘Desert Rat’ sand shoes. The collection is finished in a subtle palette of dusky khakis, sands and oranges, perfect for desert combat.
The ‘Desert Rats’ Spring 2012 collection will launch in store soon.
