    Great pic KM.
    If I could have Llew back from you by 12th March, that would be grand. Since he wasnt around for St Davids Day, the folk club will throw a special late St Davids Day treat for him. I will pm you my address.
    Then we can start again if there are enough of you who would like to host Llew.

    Hi Derek, either I can send Llew back to you tomorrow/tuesday, you'll get it right in time on 12th of March. But I could also take him one step further to a famous German Pipe Show ( Smoking Pipes) where at least 4 kilted persons will attend. This will be on 23th of March. So please, give advice if i should send Llew back this week or take with me to the Pipe Show and send afterwards. And please, either way, provide with your postal adress !

    Llew at the famous 'Loreley'

    as promised : here is Llew at the famous Loreley. There's a legend that say's , that there was a Beauty sitting on a rock, combing her long, fair hair and singing so sweet what makes the sailors crazy to loose control over their ships .... which then sank ... That's the Legend of Loreley so far ...

    In fact, the 'Rock' or Loreley is untill today the most dangerous passage on the river Rhine for two reasons, even if modern technologie like radar and echo sounding is installed on every ship :

    1.) It's the narrowest part on the Rhine
    2.) It's very curvy there
    3.) It's the deepest part of the Rhine, but under the waterline there are dangerous rocks and streaming

    Last year a big motorship with acidity capsized and two sailors lost their lives - the river Rhine, one of Europe's most frequented navigable waters was blocked for more than 4 weeks.

    Here are the pics:
