Going on a mission

**Derek** · 3rd February 06, 02:48 AM

In my other thread I mentioned a Black Cilt with Grey in it. I have done some homework and found that one of the menswear hire shops in the town hire a Cilt that is Grey with Black in it. Maybe my friends got their description the wrong way around? I believe they called it 'Grey Spirit' or 'Celtic Spirit', something like that. Anyhow today I am off to town and I will call in several of the hire shops, including the Welsh Tartan Centre to find out what I can and try to get to the bottom of it.
On a slighty different note, and it gave me a good laugh, one of my best friends sent me this email yesterday evening with this simply message ..
'Saw this and thought of you'

Gosh-you never appeared to resemble a bowling ball in your pictures!

The tartan you describe sounds very like the Highland Granite.

There are bowling balls in that picture? I must have missed them. Nope, still don't see any. :-D

I do like how the one ball seems to be looking straight up.8-)

Derek, something about your catalogue photo gives me a feeling of vertigo!!!

By the way, their 'Welsh National' tartan, apart from the colouring, is nothing like the Welsh National (Brithwe Dewi Sant) kilt I collected from the Wales Tartan Centre when I was with you all in Cardiff. Someone has got it wrong somewhere!

Ham .. you are right .. I took the picture from above to avoid the flash in it. You have also defn got the Brithdwr Dewi Sant. Will give you a ring on Sunday. Wales vers England tomorrow... its the start of the six nations. Will be glued to the tele.
Iechyd Da for now

take care
Derek
