In honour of our Scottish friends!

Now that Christmas is over, we can concentrate on bringing in the New Year. I can't think of a better way to do it, than to raise a glass of my now-favourite Innis & Gunn. It's a wonder Amber Ale from Scotland, beautiful and dry with no after taste. Just got introduced over here at my favourite watering hole. Me and my Milguass will be down there later.



Cheers,
Carl

Love you Wallpaper blog. The Explorer seems to take center stage, though!
The gold Cartier is wonderful, and the vintage Omega - the rectangular one with small seconds and blued hands - is a winner!

Great and varied collection you have there.

Enjoy the holidays.

Cheers,
Carl

Thanks Carl. The Cartier is one of my favs, it's my dad's. And the Omega tank is my mom's! I wish I could have all of them.

Thanks for the thought Carl.

Sorry to say I wont be in Scotland for the celebrations this year as my employer has thrown a spanner in the works but I shall be making up for it upon my return when I intend to crawl into a bottle of Jack Daniels for a few days.

Looks as if I may have to negotiate my way through a couple of the Innis and Guns prior to getting to the Jack though.

As we say at home:

"The last thing I can remember was that I was almost drunk".

I've got a few bottles of that brew in the fridge! Never seen it before, looking forward to a 'swally' now!
