Re: Greetings from Galloway, Scotland
That's a beauty I love Red Squirrels mind you i love the Greys too but they are causing problems up here with the Reds which is sad. I am a Yorkshireman living in Scotland! opposite way round to yourself lol I still love Yorkshire especially the real fish and chips which is something they haven't quite mastered North of the border but they are trying......What type of Dog do you have? they are great company and my Rory drives me round the bend sometimes, his latest trick is we pretend to chase each other and he likes to peep round the doors and then set off like a lunatic racing around lol I cringe sometimes as he runs under a coffee table and nearly takes his head off due to not ducking low enough.
Whereabouts in Yorkshire are ya? I used to drag race motorcycles at a place near York great place to visit if haven't been.
Right I am going out critter spotting while the suns still out
Cheers

That's a beauty, i would be too dangerous with a chainsaw carving lol i have seen some stunning work created with them over the years. Before my hands got knackered I used to carve all sorts of materials like wood/stone/resin/plaster etc but since losing my grip/co-ordination i leave the big chisels alone and now do most with a rotary carver etc makes lots of dust which isn't good for ya lol.Cheers

What type of dog do you have? my Rory is a Havanese who will be two this month, he's really cute but totally different temperament to my last one a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was so laid back don't think i ever heard him bark.....but Rory for his size he's a great guard dog and never misses anything lol I love him to bits but he is a very cheeky little fella. I have always been into rock music since i was a kid and saw Woodstock on TV so i love anything from 50's upwards if its got guitars, I like Thin Lizzy but also US bands who never seemed to tour here so plenty of Styx and Survivor,Jovi, Kiss, Uriah Heep and Jethro Tull through to Eagles, Poco, Gram Parsons ect my favourite solo singers are Dan Fogelberg, Jim Crocet, James Taylor......I also love band like Deep Purple, Rush, Muse, so many I will shut up now as i could talk about rock music (and country music) all night lol
My long hair may be a bit shorter nowadays but it was longer than my wifes in the 80's lol. I am also a big fan of bad horror movies.....those with a campervan lost in a forest full of lunatics lol and Jason and Michael Myers lol some are so funny.....but i remember walking home in the dark from my girlfriends after watching Halloween and expecting someone to jump out with an axe lol
My home is haunted so have fun and games here at times but won't bore ya with the tales, thankfully they don't seem to be very violent so far but MANY people have witnessed things happening here including a builder who left in a hurry after spotting something and even left his concrete mixer so he must have been pretty spooked?
Oh well won't ramble on anymore
Bye
Brian
