    Now that you told us about it, maybe I´ll be that nearly nobody ( just in case you´ll visit the Highland Games Xanten in June)

    By the way- pics?

    Sorry, no, I won´t be in Xanten. But I will wear it for my eldest daughters baptism in three weeks.
    Pics will follow then.

    Well, if in any doubt, remember my mother's advice: Walk fast, no one will notice.
