    Thanks Steve, hopefully you will be able to get her back in the near future and send it off on its travels again. I tend to miss the photos of the members sharing her with others. Cheers

    I guess it is sometimes hard for some to understand the importance of a little hunk of pewter. It arrives in the mail and seems to sit on the entrance table along with the un-read magazines and last weeks junk mail.

    But somewhere there is a kiltie who is very excited that our Quaich may visit someplace new and meet a new friend.

    And somewhere else another kiltie is awaiting their turn to host the quaich.

    But she sits, perhaps un-opened, simply because it is not really that important in the life of it's current host.

    The last time I saw @Lorna she was waving "farewell" to me from an old freighter named "Shanghai Queen".
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Not to worry. The quaich was mailed to Freedom Kilts last week. Keep an eye out for it Steve.

    According to the Canada Post tracking number, it was to be delivered today. It is at least in Victoria, B.C.

    'Quaich' -
    from the Gàidhlig 'Cuach' = drinking cup, fold, curl of hair

    Has the quaich gone missing, I was down on the list as hopefully hosting this month but no exiting packages as of yet. Lots of events planned, kilt ready to go but no quaich.

    Kind regards folks.
