Upwards

A very welcome walk at lunchtime with the EcoDude.

Tonight the girls persuaded me to wear my kilt to the school family ceilidh. I have not worn my kilt since my friend Stewart's wedding which was about ten years ago. Why? There are things that I think it stands for that I don't like. Mainly there is a side to being Scottish that I struggle to identify with, that being the anti-English side of nationalism that seems to go hand in hand with kilt wearing. Like wearing Argentina and Brazil football tops. I detest and am so uncomfortable with that that I have left my kilt hanging in my wardrobe for all these years.
When I was younger I loved wearing it, but no longer.
Anyway, I was given my kilt for my for 21st and I have had it for more years than I haven't, So in my wardrobe it will head back to till the girls persuade me to wear it again and all these odd anti-kilt thoughts will come to my head again.
