    Fantastic piccys P1M. Only been to Dumfries once .. a flying visit one evening to see Runrig. My mums sister lives in Wigton, just the other side of the border. Also spent a little time walking around Clateringshaws Loch. All a fab area. Just one extra word if I may .. you mention green grass in Scotland and Ireland .. what about little 'ol Wales. We have some too you know.

    yeah, they do have that "flock ewe" look in their eyes...

    sorry, for my brief slip into shear madness, there...

    Seriously Robertson, you're killing me here. We can't get there for 54 1/2 weeks yet. Just keep it coming and I'll take my meds.

    BTW, what is June like there?

    June is a time of shear delight in the Highlands. All the sheep flock together and bleat a path down to see ewe 2 in concert. Unfortunatly many are sheared by scalpers and return looking sheepish. The rest return content at pulling the wool over the herders eyes .
