The Cape Queen’s interest in Mercia’s history means there’s plenty of walking in the hills, and it’s that often-happening bad weather that led to her love of raincapes and the all-enveloping protection they provide. Over Easter the rain fortunately didn’t come, but Clair still donned a cape as she hiked to this trig point high up on her favourite moors. Trig points were put up across the country between 1935 and 1962 as the Ordnance Survey, Britain’s mapping agency, sought to improve the accuracy of maps. On the day these pictures were taken the sky was blue, the numerous clouds were light and bowled along by a stiff breeze and the views were utterly spectacular. And let’s be honest, The Cape Queen was resplendent in red Bormax cape and yellow boots: a delightful sight indeed, we think you will agree.

Here’s our second set of shots from the beach at Prestatyn, and here’s Clair The Cape Queen wearing her rubberised satin cape she bought from Ali, a great friend of Pluvmantelo. Now this is what you might call a ‘lush’ cape. Of course it looks bustin’, and you can’t miss seeing how well it hangs. It flows well and by crikey it sounds really good too, like the Klepper cape, with the sound of sails on big ships as it caught the wind blowing across the North Wales sand. This cape is definitely a true stunner and Clair rates it VERY highly: As highly as the Klepper cape? Well, that’s a good question! It’s almost up to Klepper standards, but not quite. Nevertheless, it’s one of Pluvmantelo’s best capes, and that does mean something.

Strange how a theme can develop when Clair The Cape Queen’s out and about in town and, quite by accident, one developed on a recent trip out. The town – one with many old building and few appalling modern ones – has its character unashamedly on display courtesy of its doorways, gates and entrances. And so our Doors of Caperception thread came about: as always, the best ideas come along when least expected and that’s clearly the case here. And a goodly selection of those doorways et al gave us some fine backdrops and in a few instances some great signage too. It’s often said when walking around a town you should look up – it’s a philosophy The Cape Queen practices – but it’s often important to see what’s right in front of you and what’s beside you. That’s the case here and we hope you enjoy these pictures. Got another urban theme backgrounds you’d for Clair The Cape Queen or Miss Pluv’? Let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

Here you see Feraline in the biggest – no, make that BIGGEST – cape in the Pluvmantelo collection. It’s a police cape from German (West Germany we believe) which is not only generously-proportioned, it’s heavy too. Nevertheless Feraline seemed to like it and yes, there’s room for a baggy jumper underneath too come Winter. And we think it looked just right in the Autumnal woods way out West. As always, comments welcome.
