    Of course she was there when we were trying to figure out the pleating of English Bloke's next kilt in Lindsay Modern




    She made her way to the sewing room where Milady Chrystel is working on an 18th century style waistcoat.






    Then up the stairs in my office...






    The following week the Saltire will be crossing the Alps all the way down to the Italian Riviera, then she will be sailing for a whole night going to the island of Corsica.
    Then leaving the Mediterranean, driving on land more than a thousand miles, she will be tasting a different salty ocean : the Atlantic ! The mythical Island of Ré...




    More to come...


    Best,

    Robert

    The Saltire has seen many stunning and magical places, but I'm guessing it wouldn't mind sticking around Robert and Lady Chrystel's home a bit longer.

    Such a place!

    Wonderful photos, what a fantastic view out your office window. Glad the Saltire visited your house so we could visit via your photos, thanks for posting.

    Wow...
    Funny you should mention that... errr... Meee too!

    So glad the material arrived safely. I am ever so grateful you agreed to allow me to pay by installments of 50 euros per month for 4 months. As we have discussed previously, I have admired Lady Chrystel's work for some time and I'm looking forward to this kilt immensely. I must say though... the want is killing me now.

    Great pictures Robert. I realise it is oft said but you really do have a beautiful house.

    I love these pictures espescially...





    I have thousands of pictures of my own kids. They are just the best thing to take pictures of...

    What a grand desk. The Saltire is lucky to have landed in such a friendly mountain abode as yours. Thanks for sharing photos of the continuing journey of the Airship Saltire.
