Alex, the pic of you on the platform with the steam engine behind you is definitely one to frame for the mantle!

What a great time! Thank you for sharing that!

OMG, did I see a pic of Alex without a kilt on?? Shorts no less! LOL!
Yes I am wearing shorts in two of the pics on my Flickr album (from the day of my long hike) but not in any of the photos in this thread.
It's just too bad they don't seem to have a "minifigure" in a kilt.
I do have a set of two pipers and two highland dancers in 1/76 scale which were produced in diecast metal by an English company a few years ago. I need to finish painting them and then take some macro photos.

I wasn't aware lawyers were permitted to retire. Must be a European thing. I'll surely keel over at my desk, and not be found for a week under the pile of student loan statements. :P
Great pictures, though.

Great pics for sure. Maybe saved me the cost of a ticket over to see it all!
