    Now there's a coincidence!

    One evening last week, I was quietly minding my own business when there came a ring at my front door bell. It was my old pal Dave W. (Yes, folks, Dave will also be attending the Harpenden Highland Gathering 2007 on July 8th!). He was proudly wearing his new Williams tartan cilt (KiltStore) and matching Williams lidded sporran (Thorfinn Sporrans -Turpin).

    As chance would have it, I was wearing my beautiful Isle of Skye kilt (Barb Tewksbury) and MY matching Isle of Skye lidded sporran (also Thorfinn Sporrans - Turpin).

    This seemed like too good a photo opportunity to miss and so, taking full advantage of the moment, my photographer, Tri. Self-Timer, captured the following
