Think yourselves lucky, Al. Over here in this part of the United Kingdom, we've had the second driest winter on record. Our aquifers and reservoirs are at less than half their normal level for this time of year and, from next week we are likely to have a hosepipe ban imposed on us by the Water Authorities, for starters!!

However, yesterday the Irish National showed up in the mail, and today my brand new black Original Utilikilt arrived! WOOHOO!!!!! The UK is great, but I think I need to wash it a couple of times to soften the fabric a bit.

Two days, two kilts! Now if I could keep that up for a few months I might be able to surpass Hamish's total.
Well, congratulations of your two new kilts, Al. but you still have a way to go - I've acquired three new kilts in the past week, bringing my total to 51 !!! I too am hoping to get photos up and running soon, at least in my Photo Album at IMFF, but time is against me at present. (If we had some wet, rainy weather I might be forced to remain indoors and could do something about that!). The new kilts? Two Utilikilts personally brought over to me by Megan of Utilikilts, with whom I enjoyed lunch yesterday, and a lovely tweed kilt from a somewhat surprising source! I'm saying nothing more until the photos are up....
