London - Hatters .

In a world where shops come and go its good to have some that have been around for ages . Lock & Co were established in 1676 and have an incredible history - as do many of the shops in this area of London . They have made hats for Nelson and still have a hat that belonged to Wellington !
I took this blip on a lovely sunny day on my way to F&M along Piccadilly to stock up with Christmas goodies . Walking around St James on a Saturday is nice and quiet .
Popped into Paxton and Whitfield for some Dorset Blue Vinney cheese - no luck
( oh dear things are slipping !)so got a Scotch egg as a treat !
