Part-time Canadian working toward full-time as I build my wardrobe. (I just finished my first home-made kilt, 8yard, 18oz., Hunting Rose, pleated to alternate stripes, built according to the rules in The Book.

Ancestors: Mum's side; English, Scottish, Irish, German & Swiss in no particular order.
Dad's side; English back to when the Romans left. No other details as he refuses to talk about it. (Mum says this is probably because one of his ancestors was either a highwayman, or hung on Tyburn Tree for stealing a sheep.)

Born & raised in Southern England. (I'm now supposed to say that life is full of strange coincidences as my High School was at the bottom of the hill on which Hamish lives!)
