Hello Lorraine:
I promised I would keep you posted about interesting things that happen when
I wear my riding mac. We've had a wet spring so I've been wearing it quite
a bit or just carrying with me or wearing it over my shoulders.
I wore it to a meeting at a community centre and hung it up on a hook on the
wall outside the meeting room.
I left the meeting room during a coffee break and took quick look to see if
my mac was still there. It was there alright, but there was this guy, about
25 I'd guess, pressing his body up against my mac as it hung on the wall and
his face buried in the back of the coat.
As soon as he became aware I was there he backed up quickly off the coat and
tried to act as if nothing unusual had happened and walked away.
As he passed me he looked straight ahead but I said to him with a little laugh,
"I'm glad you like my coat!"
He blushed noticeably but didn't say anything and walked quickly down the
hall and out of the building.
I couldn't stop laughing to myself for hours and still get a hoot out of it
when I think of it. Poor man.

Poor man, lucky man!
He may have blushed, but to judge from what people record in these pages you have probably given this lucky young man something that will give him a wistful pleasure for years to come!
Carol, you ought to have Lottery funding, like the Eden project. The riding mac is a threatened species if ever there was one, and there you are almost alone (oh dear!) going about the country raising consciousness in this delightfully sophisticated way.
Keep it up if you possibly can!
And thanks so much for keeping us uptodate.
Lorraine
