Shoemakers Holiday

[Cygnus]

DFWII,

That's a wonderful photo and sounds like quite the event. An ancestor of mine that immigrated from was a bootmaker, and that wasn't so long ago. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a genetic ability.

I hope you don't mind if I ask what the significance of the MacQueen tartan tie that you're wearing so well with your kilt and hose in the picture?

What a great event and photo, thank you.

And it is a lovely tartan at that - something you should be proud of!
