    Re: Storrington, West Sussex, United Kingdom

    On a quick visit to my favourite Garden Centre near Storrington, we were joined by Derek's Welsh Scarf which was also there to take in the Christmas Decoration area:



    Back at Bicknell Grange, we returned to the Sundial Court where it seemed appropriate for The Quaich to do its own sundial pose .......




    ........ before being joined by your truly:




    A pose on the oft photographed steps between the Sundial Court and the South Lawn could not be avoided:



    On Saturday, my old friend Dave W. dropped in and so we toasted each other with a dram or two of blended Old Grouse:



    After Dave had departed The Grange and I was once more alone with The Quaich, I brought out the much more palatable Tamdhu malt and drank a toast to X Marks and her(?) members worldwide.




    OK. Now I'm off to bed!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Splendid Hamish, that photo of you, the quaich and the pleat shot at the sundial will go down in the annals of Xmarks history. Thanks for all the photos.

    You have wonderful gardens Hamish and a great setting for The Quaich.
    Thanks for the pictures and I know how much time and effort you have put into taking and posting them. A well deserved dram
    Chris.
