    St. Piran's Day

    I left Bicknell Grange only once yesterday (St.Piran's Day), for an annual meeting and assessment with my cancer specialist (not that that has anything to do with it!), and I thought it appropriate to sport No.65 in the Kilt Kollection, the Cornish National tartan, for that outing. It is rather a stridently coloured tartan and usually attracts a fair amount of comment ............. but, this time, not so much as a second glance, anywhere I went! Even my specialist, who normally asks about the tartan I happen to be wearing when I see him, neither questioned me nor raised an eyebrow. I cannot believe I merged that much into the background:




    Take care,
    Ham.

    Your garden is so tidy.












    Oh, yeah. And the kilt is beautiful. Love it with the charcoal sweater and hose.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    That is indeed a curious state of affairs Ham. It must be time to pull out the Loud MacLeod and let them have both barrels.

    That's a great look for St Piran's Day. Very appropriate for the black kilt hose and sweater for St Piran.

    We had the opportunity to spend a week in Cornwall a few years ago. It was a great experience with lots of good memories. We were hosted by the folks at Truro Cathedral and were there to celebrate Michaelmas with them. We stayed at Kiggon Cottage, Pencalenick, St. Clement.
