Well, the guests have gone home, the clean-up is done and the West Coast Gathering is now past. I'm sure there will be many pics posted when the Panache family reaches home but as I have nothing else pressing, I offer you the following.


The venue for the momentous occasion. A beautiful day with temperture just right, a cooling breeze when it was needed and low humidity.


A gentle reminder in case there was any doubt as to who was invited.


The guests of honour.


Passing the quaich with a fine islay malt.


Dinner is served. BTW, my new kilt accessory by BroilKing turns out a killer roast beef.


The renowned Colin. For a guy that wasn't going to stay for dinner because he wasn't hungry, he sure can put away the vittles!
