Like many places, the weather here in the provinces has been awful this week. This morning it was very cold and overcast with a misty rain. It stayed that way all the long day. But it provided me an excellent opportunity to try out my fantastic new Irish knit sweater. A special garment because it was a gift from my Irish Redhead. The brand is Kilronan. The cable knits are substantial. The color, of course, is a DEEP green. What with the brass zipper up top, putting it on makes one feel like some sort of Irish commando. Which was just what this day required.
When I walked outside, into the mist and wind and cold, I could almost feel this sweater responding. "It's IRELAND"....
I was warm and dry all morning and ready for just a tot of Powers Whiskey upon my return. Some garments, Irish sweaters and Harris tweed jackets for example, take inclement weather and turn it to an outward course. Which is why they have been around so long. And so well...
