 The Quest of the Quaich - Voyage II begins
Greetings to the Great Rabble!
The X-Marks Quaich is on the move again! Friday, August 2nd, Steve Ashton, returning to Canada from Kilt Kamp, brought the fabulous, well-travelled, and storied X-Marks Quaich with him. The log book had already been signed by the Kilt Kampers (Photos elsewhere and to follow, I'm sure) and arrived here smiling. The Quaich has indeed travelled and has a couple of minor scratches to show its authenticity, but it is a large one, and a thing of beauty indeed.
Steve and I had never met in person until now, although we've certainly corresponded, phoned, and skyped more than a few times, so it was a real joy to host him here overnight - more than a wee way out of his path. Thanks for coming by, Steve!
In the morning, before he left, he passed the Quaich to my keeping, with permission to keep it for double the usual two-week limit... because of a special event which it will attend. More about that in due course, but I'll keep you apprised of a couple of adventures between now and then!
Slainte!
