I need to rewax mine
This morning at Sumburgh Head. The sea has been like this all day.
Send it back to Barbour, they’ll make a great job of it.

My wife has one, I always tremble when I have to venture into a pocket to find keys or whatever.
Oh, I’ve got one…

Yes, last night was pretty blowy. Some respite now until it all starts again on Tuesday.
