A Rescue Mission

After work on Saturday I received
a distress call from my husband, his
old MG had broken down and he
needed help.
He had driven to see his elderly
mother at her nursing home,
a two and a half hour return
trip from home.
So being the kind wife,
I drove to collect him.

The car stayed over night
in the nursing home car park.
Next morning with the new
part in hand we returned,
John installed the part,
(an O ring I am told)
and the car was slowly
and safely driven home.

What to wear on a rescue mission,
Black with a touch
of taupe seemed appropriate
for the day.

I chose wide leg pant
by Nicola Waite.

Topped with taupe wool jacket
from Lisa Ho.

The jacket and pants
were paired with a
Helen Kaminski wool turban,
shoes /boots Anaid Kapori.

I just love these boots,
they are black suede with
a fur trim.

My long black leather
gloves are by Dents and
have kept my hands
warm for many winters.

We stopped at a picnic area
on the way home where
these shots were taken.

A quiet, little spot
at this time of year
compared to summer
where it is filled with
holiday makers.

Enjoying the quiet, a busy
week ahead.
Off to Melbourne this week,
to see our son and catch
up with friends. 

Also to enjoy all that
a big city has to offer.

Joining Patti and all
the other inspiring souls
at Visible Monday.

P.S.  The MG Made it home
without a hitch.

    I love the turban. It's so elegant. I love how you dressed to assist your hubby. It is so fun to dress up just because.

    That whole outfit is so chic and stylish and that gorgeous turban is perfect for staying stylish in an open top car. Glad the car is fixed now.

    Darling! You as Super-Heroine! So sorry for the MG issues. Know your huz is like a new mommy with it when it's not feeling well! You look marvelous. So cute in your very practical turban, too. The gloves are the best!

      Jan, you know my husband so well or is it that men with their cars are the same the world over! The MG is now fully recovered and safe and sound.
