Scotch on the rocks, naturally

OMG! Two cousins from that side of family were over to pick some of my grandfather’s paintings, and I finally had a chance to ask “Like WTF?”
The family was in on the plot to steal the Stone of Destiny!
I love you my crazy side-relatives!

And now I want to reach through the years to a certain kindly old grand-uncle smiling over his scotch, and demand answers!

Literally fantastic!
What a legacy to have.
Somewhere, Sir Pterry is smiling, surely, and I do hope he listens in. He’d be chuffed.

We met, long ago, briefly. He was only a few books in at the time, I was the convention transpo guy, and he was a truly nice person and gent. (The accent. I was expecting refined Oxbridge, “Allo, I’m Terry!”, rich as earth!)
Ha, I wish I’d known that then, so I that could have told him. We would have had a laugh, and he might have said something profound and exact about how people are all busy out front doing things, while real history is eeling around in the background.
Oh well.

In the new place, raising a cider (mostly apples!) to pterry and that sneaky grand-uncle!
And now I have such a temptation to visit England, tour the exhibits, look at the stone, and loudly say “That’s amazing, it looks just like the real one!”
