    Purple


    Now that I am back home in Scotland, the Ventura Seaside Highland Games 2009 tee-shirt is a good colour match for Gold Brothers' Heritage of Scotland tartan. The hose started life blue but turned sort of purple after being in the same wash as a red polo shirt.

    Happy accident with the hose. If only all laundry mishaps ended so well.

    For some reason I keep thinking of Moby Grape - a 60's era San Francisco rock band...

    But I digress - you look very relaxed Alex!

    I have a purple Gathering t-shirt... they sent a bloomin XL instead of a M though! I would have loved to wear it with my kilt but they're out of stock on mediums now
    looking good btw! Like the sporran

    I love that tartan. And I'm happy to find someone else likes the same type of shoes I do. I can't wear most all nice shoes, they just don't fit around my toes, so I'm stuck with wide (EEEE) boots and half-boots.

    Looking good there, Alex - Oh, and welcome home, by the way.

    Your tee shirt, hose and some of the tartan colours are brown on my monitor - my problem, not yours! I have developed (well, the monitor has, not me) an overall yellowish/greenish cast which changes the colours of everything I conjur up. It has annoyingly put paid to any work I need to do on my own photos, and I really do not know what's happened!

    Apologies for going on unnecessarily with my problems - but it IS annoying.

    Take care,
    Ham.
