    The Postlady again +

    A few months ago now I was out the front when the post lady came. She thought my Cilt was great and we had a nice little chat for a while before she went on her way. Anyhow, the door bell went earlier today and it was the postlady. I haven't seen her for ages. She had nothing that actually needed handing in to me but wanted to know if I could give her information about the Welsh Cilts and where they could go about getting one as she would like her husband to wear a family tartan Cilt to a wedding they are going to early next year. Her husband is also keen to wear it as well by the way. Their surname is Howell .. its a very nice tartan. I explained to her it would'nt be cheap but she guessed that would be the case and did'nt mind.
    Also I just realised this will be my 500th post. Its only taken me 2yrs 7months to get here .. still I've decided to celebrate so I've opened a small can of beer .. A bit early I know, but still.

    Congrats on the 500th post and the mail lady's questions!

    Great pic!! I just realized something, you rarely smile in your pics... You should smile more, it makes your kilt brighter!

    Derek,

    Heartiest congratulations! I always enjoy your posting pictures of your pub tours, please keep them coming.

    Also have to add, the new picture of you is great.
