Hi

I thought this story would amuse you.
Anita was a carer at a strange residential school in Berkhamstead, attended by me in the 1940s. She was quite an attractive blond lady who looked after us and took us for walks. Her favourite outdoor wear was a navy blue hooded gabardine cape. She would wear this whatever the weather and even on the hottest day in the year, whenever she went out she would fling her cape over her shoulders and very likely wear it done up.
When we went for walks she would be holding our hands when on roads but when we got to open ground e.g. the common we would be released and her arms would slide inside. She would sometimes sit down and put up her hood. It gave me a tingling sensation to see her in her cape on a sunny day, especially when her bare arms peeped through the slits.
She had a boyfriend in the RAF and if we looked out of the window of an evening we would see them setting off, him in his uniform and Anita in her cape, buttoned up, with the hood up and her arms inside looking so demure. No doubt she opened up to him eventually.
On rare occasions she would wear it undone to show off the pretty dress underneath.
