Ridiculous Sandy

I dance to honour my direct descent from Somerled. My Y DNA sequence (R1a1 - Old Norse Haplogroup) has been put throgh a database and shows than Somhairle Mor Mac Ghillebridhe was a paternal ancestor in the direct male line - he was progenitor to the Chiefs of the MacDonald, Douglas and MacAllister Clans, and was the first Lord of the Isles. Posted by Picasa

Steff

Steff is now 12, oldest of Sarah's kids, and our second oldest grandchild. I took this because we had found my digital Camera and we were seeing if the batteries were still acive - they only lasted for this one shot and a very short video she did. They are charging up now.... Posted by Picasa

Daffodills at Terstan on New Years Day 2007

A Very Good New Year to You!

Judging by the early flowering of these Daffodills lets hope it does not prove an even warmer year than 2006 - did you say something about "Global Warming....? At the moment it is warm, windy and wet - no one is going on about a drought anymore at least...As for snow, I almost forget what it was like. Posted by Picasa
