    A happy lady

    I was visiting a craftshow in london yesterday, went in my Muted Hunting Appin Stewart kilt, it probably is my favourite, even though I have no actual family connection with it.

    I was wandering through lots of stands and was stopped by a lady who complimented me on my kilt, well it happens!, and then asked what the tartan was, I was about to tell her, when she said... Appin Stewart...

    I was very surprised and she was delighted, years ago she was a tartan weaver and her tartan would be the Appin Stewart , but had never actually seen my version of it made up.

    She said that seeing it had really made her day.

    So wearing kilts might just make the world a happier place

    Life is just full of those wonderful coincidences that make you wonder if there might not be a plan out there somewhere.

    You're right; I'm wearing my Scottish American kilt right now & I'm happy!

    Happiness? I'd settle for being less annoyed!!!
