Talk like a Pirate
Long John
Yesterday it was Talk like a Pirate Day.
Cutlass, Parrot
Gráinne assembled all she needed to celebrate being a Pirate…her Cutlass, Parrot,

Tankard
…and a brand new Tankard for her grog!

Thank to the Hittys favourite photographer, who spotted this tiny tankard in a charity shop, and bought it to help Gráinne celebrate! Ar-r-r-r-r-r-r!

Grainne has such a wonderful character – today your Long John photograph of her shows off so well the beautiful carving job, and the astounding eye-paint job. I am utterly in love, and will drink to the day with my own old rather piratically beaten-up tankard, which looks to have been hot off the same press.
Thanks very much – Gráinne is quite the personality! Some of the other Hittys think she is too bold, but who ever heard of a demure pirate?
me thinks that photographer has a very canny eye.
methinks you Ar-r-r-r right!
Oh, you make days so fun! Here’s to “Talk Like a Pirate Day”! I’m just thinking that we watched an old movie Monday night-“Captain Kidd”…must have “known” somehow such a day was upcoming.
What a coincidence! Sounds like an exciting movie!! Now Gráinne is requesting that I find it for her to watch!
Well, the Hitty’s Favorite Photographer gets a gold star for his eagle eye – good spotting on the tankard! He’s obviously a keeper 🙂
Definitely a keeper! He often brings them home a trinket or two but this little grog-tankard is one of the best finds yet!
It’s truly amazing!
I adore Gráinne. It’s such a treat to see her. Her new/old tankard fits her personality well…along with her trustee cutlass.
It is a bit of a toss-up which she likes best, but I think the cutlass wins, after all she could menace another tankard out of an inn somewhere if she needed one!
once again I am taken aback….by your great photographs and wonderful characters. That tankard is perfect! What a good eye the favorite photographer has. Grainne is a special favorite of the Country Hittys…they so admire her panache! I confess they have a set of swords that I procured for them but so far they have been a bit timid about using them ! Grainne is their hero!!
Gráinne sends her very best to her Country Hitty associates. She hopes to meet them in person some day to compare swashing and buckling techniques!
Cool.
Gráinne is fond of the cooling liquids in the tankard!
