me in the Buff!!

One last Lakeland anecdote: we were in a couple of camping and outdoor shops at the weekend (of which there are many in Keswick, as you might imagine) and a couple of them were selling some interesting items of head and neckwear called Buffs. Basically it's a sort of seamless polyester microfibre tube which you can stretch, twist and knot into a variety of shapes, for a variety of uses. Check out the demo videos here.

The picture on the left is me modelling the pirate bandana look, or, if you prefer, looking buff, in a Buff. Though mercifully not in the buff.
