    Fantastic! You look great in it and it looks like your lovely wife made a great job of that Cilt.

    I'd wear that one happily!

    Hi Derek,

    I never realised that Elaine had such hidden talents. Give her my regards and tell her that I am impressed by her handiwork.

    Regards,

    Rob

    Brilliant! It suits you well Derek. Congratulations to Elaine - next time I come to stay I'll bring a tape measure and a suitable length of tartan, some thread, buckles and straps, and .......

    Take care,
    Ham.
