I'd just left the house to go to the post office and was wearing a light shirt, jeans, and soft slip-on shoes. I had an umbrella but popped into the local Millets' shop and bought a new coat. I've been meaning to replace my Red Crag Hopper for a few years. It's grubby and no amount of washing according to the instructions will remove the grime, especially from the sleeves.
I went for a North Face Resolve jacket as it was the only one that came in a bright colour that wasn't pink! The pale blue isn't a colour I would normally choose, especially for boating, but it was the only colour in my size.
