    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.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Now, If you believe all this, I have a wonderful bridge that I can let go for a reasonable price.



    In actuality most of the photos you have just seen are from Amberly Castle where Hamish and Jim took Bobbie and I to lunch on Sunday.

    http://www.amberleycastle.co.uk/
    50° 54" 32.67" N, 0° 32' 25.74" W

    The large and imposing building is actually Petworth House where Hamish is a volunteer Docent.

    www.nationaltrust.org.uk/petworth
    50° 59' 17.30" N, 0° 36' 39.43" W

    Amberly Castle is a very exclusive hotel. So exclusive in fact that when we drove up to the entrance there was a private helicopter parked on the front lawn.

    I can't adequately describe either of these places so I encourage you to follow the links I have provided to get a better understanding of the awe and wonder of these two places.

    The one thing that is true is the warm welcome Bobbie and I received by our friend Ham.

    He actually did have a British Columbia flag flying in honor of our arrival.

    Here are some shots in locations you will all be familiar with.


    Who could resist doing a Hamish MK II in the actual location of the original?




    And the mandatory Pleat Shot on the sundial.



    But in my own idiom.

    Ham was able to convince his trusty companion Tri to help us memorialize this visit in photos.





    We spent more than a few hours in Ham's Garden Room discussing Kilts, the world, and X Marks.
