The SALTIRE !

**Ancienne Alliance** · 20th February 10, 09:36 AM

This morning a wee airship landed safely in the snow of our French Alps ...

THE SALTIRE is in France !

After such a voyage only Jules Verne could have imagined she had to rest a while in the royal bed room...

Once rested, she began exploring the house, landing in the most unexpected places...

Can you see her spying a tight chess duel between Miss Louise and your servant ?

Louise is getting good at this...

It was really getting late... time to cook a meal .

The Saltire could smell the onions and the ginger sizzling in olive oil and honey...

The Saltire joins us for lunch..

Cheers ! (Louise is taking the photo, better than mine...)

More to come...

Best,

Robert

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

That little blimp does get around! Wonderful pix of family and home that reminded me of my wonderful time with you last August. Looking forward to more of the visit!

The Saltire better keep an eye out for Master M, he was last seen purchasing a ticket to France........

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!

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.
