    Real swell guys. Glad you had decent weather, something we've been lacking here for a bit.

    I'm happy to see that Hamish has the belt and sporran strap, Ham I really must comment on your wonderful Argyll, it looks very smart indeed and is a colour you rarely see. Thanks again Alex for delivering them.

    Many thanks Alex for some more wonderful photos of the Harpenden 2008 'rabble'.

    Unfortunately, none of my still photos is up to standard for publishing this year, but Jim and I were using my new camcorder and I am hoping to get some 'stills' from that, but it will take a few days (at least)!

    Indeed, Glen, the beautiful belt and strap are tucked into the bag I am carrying and made it safely back to Storrington on Monday. I will model these as soon as possible, and post photos for all to see and admire.

    The Argyll is a Geoffrey (Tailor) special and is made from one of their own, in-house, weaves - Auld Reekie tweed. You have seen it many times, but in my photos the colour never shows as true - Alex's pictures have caught it precisely.

    Aye, thanks indeed to Alex for acting as Courier!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    And more.

    This is the British Airways Pipe Band who have their own special tartan. I think it's rather gorgeous!
