   Hats are old hat. What you really need is a papal ombrellino to keep the snow off! Then you could wear a wooly hat under it which no one would notice because they’d all be so impressed by what you were carrying. Or maybe what the server was carrying for you.

   Don’t think for a moment, Lay Clerk, that I have not used such a liturgical essential whilst worshipping the Lord in Scotland.

   I most certainly have, though not to keep the snow off.

   Heaven forfend that I would even consider for a fleeting moment that you had not taken advantage of the full panoply of liturgical sex-aids available!

   I am sure that the proper term Lay Clerk is paraments!

   I do like the biretta when traveling…will be wearing one this weekend in the St. Patrick’s day parade. Just a thought, maybe you should change the name of the site to “What’s on Kelvin’s Head.” Just a thought.

   Have been trying desperately to find a Canterbury Cap these last few weeks. Seems no-one makes or sells them anymore!
   A shame, as my former parish was the home of Lancelot Andrewes and they are celebrating his contribution to the translation of the KJB during a Festival Weekend, 24/25 September. I so wanted to wear a hat more in sympathy with the 17th century!
   I shall either default to a skullcap or a biretta, I guess….

   Some academic head gear (doctoral level) is based on the Canterbury Cap – try academic outfitters.

   I think I saw +Idris sporting one at the TISEC award ceremony.

   Maybe he’ll know where to get one.
