    The Journey Continues

    My oh my, what a time it was. After a few delays and some re-direction, Robert Pel and the Wizard finally arrived at Chez Mikey. With beverages in hand and introductions made, the evening began.

    The CAWFH prepared a wonderful roast pork dinner including home-made apple sauce. Robert brought his friend Barbara to better balance out the testosterone level.



    After dinner, what better than a wee dram to warm up for what lay a head.



    It wouldn't do to have a special guest in my home and send him away without a memento. Rob shows off his BC jade kilt pin, commemorative fridge magnet and "Hose Toppers" to match the Dutch Friendship tartan, all items made by the "Kilted Juggernaut".



    On arriving at the pub, we found a few familiar faces.

    The honourable Thistledown and his most charming chauffeur, Ruth.


    Of course, Thistledown couldn't wait to be pictured with the "Pride of Stratford".


    More to come

    This elderly gent kept pestering the group repeating "Will work for coffee..."



    We just seemed to keep attracting the worst hooligans....

    Colin



    Bruce BC



    The Kilted Dragon AKA Raphael



    The ladies just sat back surveying the debauchery.



    At some point, someone remembered why we had gathered and so the Saltire was passed to begin the next leg of its journey.


    L to R- Thistledown, Ruth, the Wizard of BC, BruceBC, the Guest of Honour, Colin, the Kilted Juggernaut and in front, Raphael.

    It was a FAN-KILTIN'-TASTIC evening! It was my great pleasure to get all these fine people together to share a few pints and a lot of laughs. Look for the Saltire to land in Ontario in the next few days. And Jamie, that's FOUR Saltire Kilt Nights for me, three signatures in the book. Do I get a prize?

    Fantastic Photos Mikey! It looks like a swell evening.

    The F-H.C.A.G. and I hope to make it up to your neck of the woods next summer.

    Cheers

    Well if whoever is providing the Saltire with berth at the time wants to plot her course out to me, I can get some photos of her from Ali Air Base Iraq. Maybe even with her berthed at the Ziggurat of Ur.ith:

    And Big Mikey many many thanks for your wonderful hospitality. I am really humbled.
    However your SHORT!

    The Saltire will be flying east on Tuesday. Hoping for the RKilts shop's grand opening on Saturday Nov. 15th. Could be a good excuse for a SOKs kilt night pub crawl. Those of you in the area are welcome to join me before the Saltire is shipped off to another location....YES I HAVE THE POWER ha ha ha ha

    That was a fun night. It was nice to meet Robert, Rex and his lovely wife, and Bruce.

    In that group shot though I do want to point out that Bruce and Steve are standing on the stage and are not towering in at 7 feet and that Robert is in fact taller than Big Mikey

    Unfortunately we did not get a photo of the drive by triple kilt check that hit Steve, Mikey, and Bruce all in a row. She was quick!

    A super evening! Many thanks, Mike, for calling us all together and for setting the venue -- great pub. It was good to meet those of you only known by your avatars, too, and to discover that there actually is someone taller than BigMikey.
