    Well, that's it gents...

    Been away for quite a bit, but in the meantime, I've been given a tank in the Ogilvie Hunting tartan for Christmas, if you'll believe it! My mother and my grandmother seem to have gotten my great aunt to make me one (who knew I had a kilt-maker in my family?). Anyway, now I'm just waiting for the bloody thing to be finished. Can't hardly wait!

    Welcome back! And do remember to share pictures when you get it wrapped around the bum.
