    At my wife's Masters Graduation 25 July 8

    Here are some pictures that one or other of my daughters took at my wife's MSc Graduation last week:

    Me and Isla (daughter number 2):


    Me, wife, and Mariam (daughter number 1):


    Me, fishing around for a business card to give to a prospective customer for a sporran:


    As aficionados will know, I'm wearing a kilt in MacDonald of the Isles tartan - made by Hector Russell (now owned by Edinburgh Woollen Mills) and ordered through my friend Andrew Ferguson-Cunningham of The Highland Store in Great Russell Street, London, just across the road from the British Museum. The hose are from Mr Brewin and are black. The coat is also from The Highland Store and is in charcoal grey, as they didn't have any black ones at the time that I actually had some money.

    Congratulations to your wife. What did she get her masters in and from which University?

    Wow, what an honor to see your wife awarded a masters degree. Now can she find the job to pay for it? (a little humor )
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    You'd be the next best dressed - after the graduates of course.

    And your sporran was from?

    You look great and your wife is so justifiably proud of her achievement. Perhaps, relieved, too! Lovely family. Congratulations to your wife on her significant achievement!
