If you can't get ahead get a hat!

In my pairs album I have posted a photo of a lady wearing a wonderful hat. That photo was taken at the races in Newcastle a few months ago and as it is Melbourne Cup Day today I thought I would post a photo of a selection of hats on display at a market stall in Nelson Bay. I took this photo on Sunday at the Tastes of the Bay weekend. I hope some of them were sold and are now being worn to celebrate Melbourne Cup Day. If any of you are placing a bet today, hope your horse wins.

Best day of the year, if only for all the ladies dressed up to the nines! My "hot tip" was paying $90 for the win. Needless to say I'm poorer now rather than richer!

I'm not really into hats (except woolly ones!) but I'd love one of these - nice capture!

I love hats so I love this photograph. I wish hats loved me, but when I try them on the response I get from my loving daughters is laughter as they just don't suit the shape of my face.
