My trip to Victoria

[The Wizard of BC]

Ronstew,
I think there may be some confusion on what Tartans we are talking about here.

Piperdown is the guy in this photo in the Argyle jacket and the red and green Kilt. He is holding on to his wife in the darker red and green skirt.

Both of these Tartans are different versions of the McKintosh or McIntosh.
Modern on the Lady and Hunting on piperdown.







This picture of our piper and this of Hamish are of the same Tartan, Buchanan Old Sett, Weathered.

In front of the Freedom Kilts Shop Ensign BEEDEE and ENSIGN Splash with the tree!



For those that do not understand the significance of this tree should read "Panache and the Great Hunt for the Acryli-beast" or at least this installment http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/a...f-105-p-2.html

Afterwards we bade goodbye to Hank and the lovely Mrs. Highlandtide BEEDEE, Splash_4, The Wizard of BC, and I had a meeting about important issues about the bright future of XMTS (unfortunately the G&T was voted down as the official forum drink Personally I thought I gave quite the impassioned speech, but alas it fell on deaf ears. You have no taste at all gents! ) *

Then we all went to the Royal BC Museum for a personal guided tour by the Wizard himself!

Pictures to follow ...

Now, are you sure it wasn't quite the impaired, slurred speech?

Great photolog, Jamie. Really - I wish I could have been there. This is the next best thing.

Regards,
Rex.

I really should mention one thing that Bruce (BruceBC) mentioned about surfing/body surfing during a lovely chat with Brian at the Bengal Lounge at the Empress because it was very well worth repeating and pretty profound.

What he said is that surfing is the ultimate optimistic sport

You wait for a good wave

If a wave proves disappointing you don't worry about it

You just look forward to the next wave

That one might a good one

I think Bruce explained why floating on my boogie board I find myself smiling and happy

...and that is a very good thing!

Cheers

Yep. Wise words from Bruce.
