    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.

    OK, our Quaich is safe and sound here in Victoria.

    She arrived well packaged on Tuesday.

    I am taking some photos of the souvenirs she picked up on her travels and the pages of the logbook.

    Once I have everything documented I'll post and then send her off on another adventure.

    Who has an event that she can attend?

    Happy to hear it, Steve!

    My wife and I will be attending the annual St. Louis Scottish Highland Games and Cultural Festival in beautiful, Forest Park (site of the 1904 World's Fair) in late September. There are several members of the rabble who will also be present (some coming in from out of town), so having the quaich accompaning us to the games, and to the festivities that shall take place at The Scottish Arms Pub thereafter, may be an idea.

    Kind regards,

    Kind regards,
    Forest park is wonderful. I might be going to the games as we still have some belongings in storage nearby. See you there! (Hopefully)

    '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.
