Its not like I was having problems building anticipation for the big trip to the Ice - but to add to the excitement, I received a courier package yesterday morning with these beauties. Possibly almost 100 year old gloves worn apparently for one of Mawson's expeditions. The wonderful parent in laws had collected these from somewhere...and have gifted them to me to mark the trip. Unbelievable in many ways...
To think they had some brave person's very cold hands in them a long time ago on a Continent a long way away. (Deep!) Clothing fit-out of another era is on for me this afternoon. You'll be hearing from me!
