    Hi, Downunder, and thank you for the tip about sewing.
    It’s not a skill my wife can boast of (not only did she battle in needlework class at school, but she has bad arthritis in her hands, among other parts of her body). However, my neighbour is quite a seamstress and I think I will rope her in sometime, when I have suitable material.
    Regards,
    Mike

    ...from the far nw corner of Washington state!

    If you don't mind my asking, which kilted regiment were you with?

    In the vintage kilt photo thread I've posted some early pics of the Transvaal Scottish (early 1900's & WWII), the 4th South African Infantry Regiment (South African Scottish), & one of a Cape Town Highlander (late 1800's).

    I have a couple friends from around Johannesburg (well, one has since moved to the states) & another in New Zealand who is a SADF vet.

    It's good to have you on board!

    Thanks, gentlemen, for the warm welcomes.
    Where in Lesotho were you, Knome? My brother lived up close to the Transkei border for two years — I can’t recall the name of the place, but I can always drop him a line and check.

    I lived in Semonkong, in central Lesotho near the Maletsunyane Falls, from 1976 - 1979. I taught at the secondary school. I have not been back (although would love to go again). I understand that there is now a road up to Semonkong. During my period, there was a dirt "road" which frequently shifted down the mountainside. We were typically on horseback instead of braving a motorized vehicle.
