Dale wins the Quaich

[Nod]

For my (biggish [60th]) birthday, Mrs Nod bought me one of THESE. Narrow feet aren't ideal on soft ground but it's great when there are 4 flights in a departure lounge that has seating for one...

A bit late, but well done Dale.

Now that all the well deserved praise has been given, does anyone know what sort of Quaich it was ... Stilton & Broccoli, Cheese & Onion ??

I confess to reading it as Quidditch at least twice

Said Quaich.


Ironic I won it but can't take a decent pic of it. Quickly set up phone pic of course.


Quaich Tradition.

Interesting, looks like a drinking cup?

Went looking and found this page.....

The Quaich Ceremony - Marriage

A Quaich ceremony is a Scottish traditional two handled cup. The Quaich is often referred to as the love cup as you each take a handle to take a drink, showing you trust one another to share the cup. You can fill the cup with a drink of your choice, usually whisky or you can combine two

Looks great with all the names on it, a la Ryder Cup or similar.

Well deserved, Dale

I didn't do too badly in our clubs competition (Bon Accord CC)
I won the League 1 DPI monthly competition winning by 0.1pts
The best Landscape in the Grampian Eye competition, a competition between all participating clubs in the Grampian Region up as far as Forres.
Also a new trophy by an elderly ex member for the best local image

Now it starts all over again with the first monthly competition tonight.

It seems like a perfect excuse for a new lens!

If you win with lens x then surely you should never change it?

 

[Phil-D]

Excellent Dale, well deserved

 

[Earley Man]

Congratulations, I thoroughly enjoy your thread on the kingfishers.

I think more along the lines of “I’ll get this as a reward to myself for winning, I’ve earned it”.

 

[Dale.]

I have actually treated myself to 2 lenses this year, not that they've had a proper run yet but hopefully, that will change over the next couple of months.

well done Dale, fame at last, the old bonnet town, this might sound a bit macabre , but when i die, my ashes will end up in the river Annick that runs through Stewarton
