Therefore, Christian men, be sure,

Wealth or rank possessing,

Ye who now will bless the poor,

Shall yourselves find blessing.

Luskentyre

Luskentyre - Often hailed as one of the best, if not the best, beaches in Scotland, on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides.  And this sweater, named for it, is also the most worn sweater of my new season Bosies.  So warm, so easy to throw on, and with that elusive seamless blending of Scottish and Nordic.

A Reader Question: How influenced are you by your parents' style of dress and behavior?

A reader question:

Hi Muffy,

May I ask a question please.

How influenced were readers by their parents style of dress and behaviour bearing in mind the changes that the world has seen in recent decades?

From my own standpoint having lived through many different fashion fads in my early years I have realised in later life just how much of an influence my parents were. My father was military so smartness was imperative as were manners and both are (and always have been) very important to me. He was also a countryman and I inherited his love of country sports (and clothing)  although strangely my brother didn't. My father knew how to dress for all occasions and he passed that knowledge on to me for which I am grateful.

Readers thoughts?

Kind regards

So let the raucous sleighbells jingle...
