I wore a white top and my black kilt, with black hose and shoes and a black serape and beret when I went out - as it was rather chilly.

The locals are quite used to my McAbre garments, though they tend to be shocked when I switch to mostly white with something colourful for the summer.

I have done this every year for almost three decades, and they still find it shocking - perhaps they think that women past the first flush of youth should not wear white or bright coloured garments.
