Hello everyone,

I am not sure that this is the correct space to write this but, if it is not, someone will re-post it to the correct location I dare say.

Yes, I am still alive but not kicking...

Thank you Jamie (My Best Wishes to you too) and thank you to everyone else who has been kind enough to send kind thoughts in this direction - friends old and new.


I have not been able to add to...

Since I have not been able to get to Harpenden for several years (4?), I was so very pleased to be able to browse through the excellent selection of images you have posted here Chas. Thank you for...

I am ashamed to say that I have only today come across this thread - three months after Jamie showed us the superb results of Paul's talented endeavours.

Jamie, I am so utterly delighted that you...

Alex,

My belated but nevertheless warmest good wishes and congratulations to Gabriele and you.

I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting your good lady but hope to 'ere too long.

Take care,...

To Jamie especially, I send my most grateful thanks for his kind thought and generous gesture, and to everyone else my thanks for your kind messages.

To share a birthday with Jamie is an honour...

Jamie,

Greatest news, my friend. Keep up the positive progress even if you find it a little slow at times. I have intended writing to you but I've been 'out of sorts' myself of late. However, I...

I have not logged on for a few days Jamie, and the news that you are already back at home is quite simply supercalifragilistic expialidocious! I am thrilled, relieved and jumping for joy* - all at...

Sadly I have only just stumbled upon this thread - and felt obliged to 'have my say'. I added the Cornish National to my Kilt Kollection in 2006 and, although I have no known connections with that...

A telephone call this morning (for which I am most grateful) alerted me to Jamie's situation. I am, of course, devastated as he is a particularly close friend. Since I developed health problems a few...

I know this supplier is not in the USA, but I have a totally wearable poly-vis cilt from them in the St.David's tartan (Brithwe dewi sant). It is also above your $75.00 budget, but if all else...

Hi everyone - yes, it's me again!

I have been deeply touched by all your wonderful messages of encouragement and support. It has been a bit of a long haul but, following the latest surgery of...

John, Paul and Chas,

Thank you SO much for the superb virtual day out at the Harpenden Gathering - and special thanks to Chas for bringing me along! You are quite right, I should so much have...

WOW! Many thanks to you all for your kind and generous Birthday wishes - I am truly touched that so many friends, old and new, and even a complete stranger (!) have taken the trouble to contribute to...

It's a real tonic to see Elaine, Gordon and you in action again Derek. I just hope the weather holds for you for this evening - my fingers are crossed! Will be in touch soon.

Take care,
Ham.

I am so envious of those of you able to get to Harpenden this weekend. In the past I have attended many of the annual Highland Gatherings there - even danced competitively there in the early 1970s! ...

Thank you, my friends, for your concern over my well-being.

On the whole I am doing quite well but have slowed down terribly with the result that everyday chores and events that make up daily life...

A very good point, S.W., and one I have always taken into account when setting up my numerous kilt photos over the years. In fact, my personal photographer, Tripo Self-Timer, was chosen from...

.......I am posting this announcement where, hopefully, it will be seen by my many friends.

Facebook:

Several years ago I was persuaded to register at 'Facebook', but seldom logged in or posted...

That's USA Kilts (and Rocky, of course) for you! Continue to enjoy your Red Ross for many years to come - I know I would!

Take care,
Ham.

Ron,

Thanks for the cultivation tips. I guess the watering habit you describe is for seedlings growing in Arizona (or neighbouring States) rather than Storrington, but I am well aware that they...

Ron, what a joy seeing you so comfortably dressed in your USA Kilts kilts - they are perfect for the temperatures you must be enjoying over there just now. I am intensly jealous of your warm...

What fun! Chas thank you SO much for this one which makes me regret so very much that I am unable to dance a step thesedays (after a lifetime of doing so). Nevertheless, a great deal of...

I had the great pleasure of meeting the Invercauld, and enjoying a dram with him, at The Gathering in 2009. He was absolutely charming and his sense of humour was hugely in evidence. Here is an...

A great set of images there Derek - bringing back some very happy memories.



Indeed it is, my friend, and here is a view of part of the interior:....
