I certainly am.

It's my favourite season; the colours, the climate, the style and the general magic of it all.

In preparation for what is generally one of the wettest times of the year (not that we usually experience much of dry spell here) I was on the look out for a practical jacket. Enter Mainline Menswear.

They generously gave me free reign from their collections and I selected this bold hooded jacket from Penguin.

It's a warm coral orange (although described as red on the site) and will tap this season's colour palette. It's lightweight, shower-proof and perfect for a casual day off. As it's waterproof, it will also hold in the heat, so there's no need to layer much underneath.

I pulled the jacket on yesterday when we took Frank for a walk. As you can see, my facial foliage is also in full bloom - I've not trimmed my beard since I was on vacation in May...

(This post also marks the introduction of Frank. He's our new addition. We got him in June and he's a crazy, fearless, funny wee character.)
