Robert's Stop-over in England
Better late than never, I am now able to bring you a selection of the photos we took this past mid-week during the two-day visit to Storrington by Robert Pel (he of 'R'-Kilts in Canada) and his father, Henk. Their brief visit was, in effect, a stop-over whilst en route to their Netherlands homeland, and an opportunity for Robert to personally deliver my new Bronze leather R-Kilt!
Having met them at Gatwick Airport early on Tuesday morning, I brought Robert and Henk to Ham Palace in Storrington where, prior to being admitted, an obligatory photo was taken:

This was followed by the offical handing over of the Bronze leather kilt:
My wonder at the sheer beauty of it knew no bounds......!
After lunch at The Frankland Arms (a favourite nearby pub), I thought a brief walk by the sea (The English Channel) would be good for my guests - ozone into the lungs and a bit of gentle exercise following their long overnight flight. So we drove off to Hove, a very close neighbour to Brighton, where Robert snapped his father and me deep in conversation. (I am, by this time, wearing the new kilt of course!):

The remainder of the day was taken up with much conversation and Robert being given Part I of a detailed tour of The Kilt Kollection.
