Then there was the tricky part, I had not realised how tricky this next part would be. I had to choose which one. This was not easy, there is a Buff for everyone, but what kind of Buff person am I? Then I saw the one that called to me, the one that made me smile, it was the JD Time to Nest Buff from the Julie Dodsworth Collection.
It is a very pretty Buff, it is also very useful. It became, very quickly, a constant companion as it packs away very small and weighs virtually nothing. It is, above all, practical. One day I was out garden visiting and whilst it has been really warm recently an unexpected cloud covered the sun and it was suddenly not as warm as it was. I had no coat or jumper as it was meant to be a warm day, but there was now a chill. Out came the Buff and I wore it as an impromtu scarf, it provided just that bit of chill-defense I needed.
A week or so later and the heat has really kicked in, we are suddenly having that elusive thing called a summer. On a hot sweaty day in the garden the Buff is very good for mopping a sweaty brow; and yes, the Buff is very washable.
I really like this buff, it is one of those simple yet brilliant ideas. You can use it in so many different ways and it looks good. I am now thinking of buying a couple as Christmas presents for people who I know would love one (is it too soon for the C word??).
So what kind of Buff person are you?
(and can I have a nod of thanks for not making any double entendre buff jokes)
