    Kilts + Ann + Santa Claus


    For today I had booked a self drive hire of a Citroen Dispatch wheelchair accessible taxi and I collected Ann from the care home and took her to Gretna Green for lunch and some shopping. John and Yvonne met us at Gretna Green.

    Kilts and Santa Claus. Yvonne wears a lady's kilt in Hunter tartan, while I am wearing a denim Union kilt and John is wearing a Midas leisure kilt in black cotton.

    Ann and Santa Claus in the Crossways Inn, Gretna Green.

    Great to see Ann out and about, Happy Christmas Alex.

    Alex,

    Glad to see Ann out during this wonderful season. I am sure she enjoyed having friends to join the two of you.

    Alex,
    Even though we've never met, I really admire the way you care for your Ann and take her to different places. I wish you both a merry Christmas and peaceful new year.

    Alex,
    It is great that you are out and about, and even better to have Ann along.
