    Actually I rarely use it,but it is by the door, amongst a few others,for house guests to use.All you have to do is pop over and it will be there for you to use.

    The same with all of you who would like to try out my Christmas tree walking sticks... there is great trekking to be done here in our French Alps.
    You are all welcomed.
    I'd love to see the faces of the locals seeing all those walking men in kilts !

    When leaving the lovely Abbey in Avranches(France) last year, clad in the kilt after a wedding, I caused a traffic accident.No, I did not walk into the road!All I did was stand on the pavement.Honest guv!Two drivers saw the kilt and then promptly drove into each other!So A A watch out, keep the kilts away from your roads!

    Jock, I'm sure that you cut a dashing figure, so it's not surprising that you should have such an effect on traffic!

    I'm not familiar with that abbey. Is it still occupied?

    Oh yes the Abbey is very much in use.General Patton and his team knocked it about a bit,it has been repaired beautifully.As to the crash,it was handy having most of the local police force,fire service,army,navy and airforce at the wedding to assist at the shamozzle.No one was hurt,but Charlie Chaplin could have felt well at home at the scene! The one abiding memory I have, is seeing the chief of police in full uniform directing opperations with sword drawn in the midst of the wreckage!
