The history woman – in a cape

March 25, 2024

Clair The Cape Queen likes exploring – as an historian of Mercia she likes making new discoveries, whether it’s the wild moors, the lakes or, in this case, an abandoned very large old house. And for a change Clair donned her white early-1970s pvc cape: …

March 1, 2024

As is often said in those more Northern parts of Mercia ‘it was parky’ and it undoubtedly was. But big blue skies and freezing temperatures make a heady mix if Clair The Cape Queen’s included. There’s no denying she enjoyed wearing this no-label PVC number …

February 26, 2024

The rocks, or Clair The Cape Queen in her splendid long clear pvc cape? You decide. But on a cold, blustery day on the moors, Clair – with her traditional bobble hat, was well protected against middle-Mercia’s winter blast. Warm, dry and looking kool: What …

February 13, 2024

We’re not sure just what the reaction will be to Clair The Cape Queen’s ‘carousel cape’ but we think it’s just the ticket, and it certainly added a serious splash of colour out on the moors deep in the bleak midwinter. It’s one of Clair’s …

The shine in a black and white image

by Pluvmantelo

February 5, 2024

Clair the Cape Queen has once again been working her magic with this series of images, which she terms ‘vintage black and white’. We think it’s properly vintage noir, the somewhat spectral air having a depth that’s 1960s reminiscent. The shine on the cape simply …

Among some in the motor trade a quick going-over with the spray gun is known as re-sale red. Well, there’s no selling here (unless you’d like to buy this cape, in which case get in touch) but there’s been some re-vamping and once again, courtesy …
