Oh b*&&*^ks, I'd completely forgotten the possibility of a bag being needed. Well done you guys!
Certainly not a 'nav bag', despite its carrying capacity. Perhaps the rural theme could be preserved with a 'gamekeepers' bag which are now quite fashionable amongst a certain set. Nothing plastic, with 'tradesmens' motifs' on the side - very 'non U' this season. However, the very fact that you bring 'indoor' footwear will strike a favourable chord with your hosts, as the farming set tramp over the living room carpet in the their snow covered brogues. It also means Mrs MM will look 'quite the ticket' in her court shoes against Mrs Giles in her sensible flatties.
Any chance of having a man to carry the bag? Even if it's ony a teenage scroat, home early from boarding school.
Teeteringhead: what makes you think your'e not already sussed? I'm hoping for a suitable moment to cuff you smartly round the ears
