    I noticed how brave he must be perched on those two rocks like that in those nice shoes and hose while his kid is flailing that fishing rod around him.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    I call first dibs on his jackets and vests. The man is a snappy dresser.

    The Duke's Hose

    In the interests of completeness, and in response to those who have enquired as to where one might obtain their own version of the Duke's most excellent hose, I believe the source of at least some of his hose is Wendy Keith Designs http://www.wendykeithdesigns.co.uk/tradition-c4.html

    That company holds a Royal Warrant from the Duke as regards the supply of hose, and several of the posted photos of the Duke appear to feature them. By posting this, I mean no disrespect to Matt Newsome, from whom I have just ordered hose, or the almostunwearoutable outfit, or any others suggested--I'm sure they can all fulfill your requirements. Cheers!

    Morning from Loch Awe in the West Highlands
    Notice Charles very very rarely wears ghillies. Why ? He's about 5ft 9" and the laces of ghillies up the leg always cut the look, appearance and length of the leg so a man of under 5ft 10" always looks shorter

    If you like the diced hose he wears do let me know and I get you some

    Time to get kilted...out local Games are on today

    regards
