Graham, btw, in the Wallace Collection under Celtic Kilt Pins I thought of you when I saw the Celtic Cross pin
heck Bubba, I'm really touched i revisited the site and looked at those pins, and I have to confess that I have a sudden urge to order one, they are great!! I like the rampant lion and the thistle one too.

Want to know something really funny?
On our 25 acre property, thistles have always been a real problem, they were introduced to Australia, and as with many introduced flora and fauna, they become a pest.

However, out of a totally misguided love of Scotland, i cannot bring myself to wipe them out.
Is that sick or what? I'm tellin' you, i got it bad
