    Oops! I did it again (as well!)

    In desperate need yesterday of some retail therapy - well, on-line therapy to be precise - I ordered two more kilts, both full 8 yarders in Strome weight tartan.

    One is the Cornish National tartan and the other is the Breton National tartan. Since I already have the Welsh Brithwe Dewi Sant (St. David's tartan) and will soon have the Ireland's National tartan from Rocky at USA Kilts, I am near to completing a sub-Kollection of the Celtic nations' tartans.

    Oh, dear! This means that I'll have to find hanging space for another six kilts between this week and mid-August!!

    Actually, Robin, I DID order that amazing kilt pin along with the kilt!! Could I say "No thanks" to your generous offer of another one though? I very much doubt it!!! It's really kind of you.

    With the Cornish National, I also ordered a Cornish design sporran and a St. Mylor Cross kilt pin.

    Well done Hamish, we should give you the title of "Grand Keeper of the Kilt"
