What I did on my summer vacation

[The Wizard of BC]

The Gentleman notices that the pleats of my Kilt are wrinkled from the car seat and directs a footman to escort us to our cottage nestled in the trees of the estate to freshen up.



We notice a bronze plaque proclaiming "Ashton House" and we are struck numb by the generosity of this humble man.

[The Wizard of BC]

After a suitable time another servant raps lightly on the door of out cottage and inquires if we would like to take Tea with Himself in the Drawing Room.



We find that a friend and fellow admirer of Hamish, Jim, has arrived and is comfortably awaiting our arrival.

[The Wizard of BC]

During Tea our host and Jim regal us with the hardships of country life. We hear of the terrible tribulations one must endure finding good servants who can properly baste and press Kilt pleats.

[The Wizard of BC]

After Tea we are asked if we would like to tour the grounds of Bicknel Grange before dressing for dinner which we are told will be served in the Garden.

The humble staircase leading to The Weapons Room.



A small portion of the weapons which we are told are necessary to keep The Kilt Kollection safe from prying eyes.



We are getting closer to the Vaults.

[The Wizard of BC]

And outside the vaults we are greeted with this array of imposing armaments.



It seems that the Kilt Kollection is so valuable that extreme measures must be taken to protect and preserve it.

[The Wizard of BC]

Dressed for dinner Bobbie and I proceed into the Garden.

[The Wizard of BC]

Where we are warmly greeted in the garden by Himself.



The ruins behind us appear to be of great antiquity but which are actually explained to us as necessary camouflage to insure the safety of the true location of the Kilt Kollection from Satellite photography.
