'Robust snout.' Lol.

A valid point indeed, Helen. Maybe the ladies who use handkerchiefs these days have indeed upsized from the postage-stamp ones that I remember my granny using. However, I would suggest from its larger size that the item in question does appear to be designed for a robust snout, rather than being suitable for addressing a more delicate sniffle.

I'm curious: what distinguishes a gentleman's handkerchief from a lady's one? Is a lady's handkerchief expected to be covered in flowers and flounces? I must be chosing my handkerchiefs wrongly....

Thus far, Liz, it would appear not. At least, not one with the initial F on his hanx who is prepared to admit to it.

Surely you just need to find the gentleman in Charlbury. There must be one!

Found on the perimeter path round the wheat field next to Woody Lane. Gent's white handkerchief with the initial F embroidered in blue in one corner. If you've lost it and would like it back, contact us through the website.
