    So, Hamish! Here's an offer. I would love to be the one to make your 100th kilt, whatever it is. You buy the tartan, I'll donate the kiltmaking and make sure it arrives at the right time to be your 100th kilt!

    Hogs and quiches,

    Barb! What CAN I say? That is such a very kind and generous offer - and one I have no hesitation in so gratefully accepting. I will get my thinking cap on and will be in touch, although I think there might be a slight lull in the accumulating procedure once the three/four currently on order have been received.

    A recent, and latest, suggestion came from Scotland proposing that I should have my own tartan designed for the occasion! A brilliant idea, but I'll need time to think about that - time that I do not currently have! It would be fun though.

    I am still reeling from your kindness, Barb. Thank you so much.

    Take care (and Hogs and Quiches),
    Ham.

    Hmmmmn! A very nice tartan, but just a little too much bright red for me, I'm afraid.

    Take care,

    Ham... If you din't have time to do the design, I'll help you out. Tell me the colors you'd like and give me a couple ideas of tartans you like the look of (the overall design) and I'll design it for you for free. I can also help you get it woven and registered (you'll have to pay for that part... but I'd just charge you my cost). Then you can have Barb make it if you like.
