You may remember I blogged before about Trespass, a outdoor clothing company I discovered in the Lake District when we went there back in 2010. The company itself is from Scotland. I only ever bought one thing from it, a jumper/fleece which is now all old and wornout. I bought it to keep me warm as I had onyl packed light clothes and temperatures had dropped dramatically and unexpectedly. I am wearing it as I am typing this.Every time I put it on, I think of the Lake District. Anyway, I recently discovered that there is a Trespass shop not too far from where we live. So I might get there one day to find a new item to wear out.

Trespass and a memory
I like to keep old clothes and I rarely depart myself from them, even after years of wearing them. Even when they get wornout and utterly out of fashion, I keep them until they are unwearable and even a charity shop would not want them. So yesterday, it struck me that I was wearing a Trespass jumper/fleece thingie. The kind of inelegant but practical outdoorsy piece of clothes that is both comfy and sturdy. As any clothe should be. I bought the Trespass jumper in the Lake District, during the summer of 2010. It had been a hot summer and I had only packed light clothes. When temperatures dropped unexpectedly, I had to quickly buy a fleece in one of the many outdoor clothes shops that the Lake District has. I had plenty of choice. I learned preparing this post that Trespass is a Scottish company, not one from Cumbria. And I thought at the time I was buying a local product. Oh well. Be that as it may, it made me want to revisit the Lake District and revisit Scotland too.
