I won't be kilted at Hogmanay unfortunately, although I will be having a great time in a small village in Northern Spain. The place where we go for "Cap d'any" gets rather crowded, and there's far too much danger of red wine stains, cigarette burns and other "drunken hazards" associated with wearing a kilt at such parties.

I have a nice striped Ben Sherman shirt which I will pretty much be able to guarantee goes to the Sallies afterwards... Anyway, I'll do my best to dress up in clothes which I (unfortunately must) consider disposable... my kilt (and the rest that goes with it- hand knit hose, jacket etc.) doesn't fall in that catagory.

My wedding there in a few years WILL be kilted!

Cheers,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
