| | | Last of the snow
We had a nice snow storm yesterday, today 56 degrees and the snow melted (typical Virginia weather).
Here is a picture of me in my WPG Gordon kilt, hose, and sporran.
The sweater is a Shetland wool in Loden, I thought the color combinations looked pretty good.

Yes indeed! It was a very comfortable outfit to wear. I know the WPG kilt is alittle rough but thats what it was made for.

Yes David, that is a really good example of colour co-ordination. Well done! However, if I were to be really picky (which I am not!!) I might question the black boots worn with a brown sporran - or was it a brown sporran worn with black boots?! Seriously, you show us an excellent example of just how well a military kilt can be worn casually.
As for weather: here in the south of England we have had more than our share of heavy frosts this winter but, as yet (and there is still plenty of time) no snow. We've also had far more rain than we are entitled to, with many areas of England and Wales currently suffering severe flooding. Regarding temperatures: as I sit here at 12.40am, the temperature outside is 55ºF - ridiculously high for this time of night in mid-January.
Take care,
Ham.

Take care,
Ham. | Thank you Ham,
I was wearing the black boots because the snow was melting and they are the most water-proof boots I have-was going to put on browns but didn't want to get my feet soaked!

Take care,
Ham.
