A lie can be halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.
~James Callaghan
The boots I've been wearing look a bit like a footwear version of the Sorting Hat. Not very fancy, but I like them. All kinds of boots today:

Whoa...King Gustav's boots (and especially the spurs) are incredible! Bet he only wore them the one time.
ReplyDeleteThe Legacy sign is great...extremely imaginative.
And I've always thought that leaving only Stalin's boots from the statue to be very symbolic (from having the country under his heels for so long).
Great theme, today, Tab.
