    A gift from A Hay!

    I received in the mail today a small package from Germany.

    It from Tom (A Hay!)




    Tom made a series of these small leather plaques for those fortunate to attend the Ferintosh Burns Night Supper this year.

    He very thoughtfully made this one for me as well (shown with my O'Neille made XMTS Saltire kilt pin)

    My thanks Tom, it will hang with pride in my Library.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Nice work Tom. I am currently carving a semi deflated blimp 'Maple Leaf' to accompany this zeppelin to commemorate my ultimate victory over you and your lackluster showing of an illfated attempt to secure the greater arctic Acryla-beast as little robotic minions.

    Appropriate, but I believe the correct word is 'defeated'.

    Such a thoughtful gift.

    That is a beautiful gift!

    It looks like your mission for the Saltire is a continuing success Jamie. I like to think it has brought us all a little closer together. *salute*
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
