    Re: A short hop across the German/ Dutch border

    Hi Lads,

    so, I'm back from our short trip with the Quaich and here are some pics to make it happen:

    http://s1046.photobucket.com/albums/.../The%20Quaich/

    Does this Quaich make fine weather? We started in the rain, had 10 days pure sunshine and left the campside when it started to rain again.

    On the second day, the owner of the camp site asked for a photo shooting with his kilted guest. At least, he and all other campers (ok - not so many at the end of the season) gathered at our caravan, so we invited them to share the Quaich with us. They all enjoyed a wee dram of cask strength Whisky and took a look to the logbook. Our guests were impressed by the existance of a world wide group of kilties and we learned that they never saw a man in kilt in real life before - now they will remember this day as we do.

    We are going to meet some goods friends for a walk tomorrow - another good oportunity for sharing the Quaich. Pics will follow.

    Yes - I frequently wear a flat cap with my kilts - still looking for a military Black Watch khaki tam to replace it

    "luv the pups" - unlike me, they actually have Scottish roots

    Thanks for the photos Black Watch, and I agree, the quaich does brighten things up when it's around.

    Hmmm, what a popular campsite. Was it the quaich, it's contents or the pups that drew all the visitors? The pups sure are cute. Do you breed them?

    Thanks for posting the pics.
