    Another beautiful kilt, Robert. Lady Chrystal is an artist. The tartan is her palette, the needle and thread her brush, and the kilt a work of art.

    Oh! That kilt is just STUNNING! My warmest congratulations to Lady Chrystel for her superb needlework, and to you for wearing it so well. I am, of course, unashamedly jealous.

    If I have any criticism to make it would be with regard to your red-top hose. Whilst the colours co-ordinate very well, my eye is caught by the two expanses of 'red' which, I find, detract from the beautiful kilt slightly. Given a choice, I would opt for bottle green or blue topped hose rather than the red - but that's just me! I should not be commenting in this manner as the kilt is just too gorgeous and the accessories very much take second place!

    As has been stated: you are a very fortunate and lucky man to be blessed with such a charming and talented wife.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    I long hesitated before putting on those red hose tops !

    I think I will choose bottle green hose tops for daywear promenades, and navy blue hose tops with solid red garters for dressier eveningish wear.

    Thank you for your warm comments that I will immediately translate to Chrystel.


    Best,

    Robert
