There had been little opportunity to wear my kilts during the long winter as I had been driving a school bus which required the regulation dark coloured trousers, and when not at work have been hibernating at home.
In the meantime I have managed to shed two stones of fat.
Last weekend when I started back in my voluntary summer season job as a guide at the aviation museum I had to hold up my Royal Air Force tartan kilt with a trouser belt as all my kilt belts are now too wide, even when fully tightened. I need to acquire new belts or make additional holes in my existing ones.
Fortunately my lightweight Paisley pattern kilt has its own belt which I was able to adjust to my new waist size. Now that the warmer weather is here, it feels great to be out and about in the lightweight kilt.
