I often take my dog out in the car, to the woods or the beach and I dress accordingly. On the way home I sometimes call into the shop nearest my village - Waitrose. Aaaarrrggghhh! I suspect you're supposed to visit the hairdresser and have a complete makeover before treading their hallowed floors. My muddy walking boots, thick socks, warm trousers and well-worn fleece jacket do seem to attract glares and sniffs. Good job I whip off my thermal hat before entering, or I'd look a right tramp.Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-71428101639823077042013-11-20T18:13:18.165+00:002013-11-20T18:13:18.165+00:00John,
