My Swing Bill came10th in the run and two other horses had to be put down due to the fatal injuries. But beyond this I have no more information to impart on you and my nominal knowledge of sweepstaking terminates ...which is fine since I have received my bet collaterally with my colleagues on benevolence of the company and am happy to contribute a miniscule share in the beautiful tradition.
But in light of the event, along with the plummeting temperatures, I am taking advantage to celebrate tweed, virgin wool and goode olde Scottish weavers.
My choice falls on Houndstooth tweed- only by reason of not having any other in my possession.
Many will probably recognize the twills, recalling despiteful teaching staff at school.
Nevertheless, the fabrics are grand and the names contribude to the culture!
