National Hat Day at Sagittarius.

15^th January was National Hat Day and to mark this occasion we sported a range of head wear.

The prize for “best hat” was taken by Bob – who looked a bit like a giant pint of Guinness in his black outfit and “topper”

A few hat facts for you ….

• In the Middle Ages, hats were an indicator of social status.
• In the military, hats may denote ones nationality, branch of service, rank and/or regiment.
• A Thebes tomb painting depicts one of the first pictorials of a hat.  The painting shows a man wearing a conical straw hat.
• The term “milliner” derived from the city of Milan, Italy.  The best quality hats were made in Milan in the 18th century.

We're looking forward to National Pizza day on 9^th February!
