The sun is shining and there is no rain forecast. Wind is a gentle breeze.

Today I'll head for Market Drayton. But the big question first is what to wear? Or rather which top to wear with the new Primark tartan miniskirt?

In the Buttercross Café in Market Drayton having a nice mocha and a slice of Squidgy Lemon Traycake

@ninalanyon you seem to be having a good day and getting about , I do like the tartan skirt

@skimpyboy I wonder about tartans. Do companies like Primark design, or have designed for them, new tartans or do they use an existing one (@22Michelle).

As for getting about, sightseeing is why I'm in the UK :-) Market Drayton is not very far away and is a much pleasanter place to stroll around than Crewe.

@ninalanyon There are "traditional" tartans gor the various clans, but how realistic they are depends on your view of how long does it take to be "traditional". Some don't go back that long. Nowadays football and rugby clubs have their own tartans, and some are just dreamt up by whoever is producing them, usually a generic " tartan".
