Hi folks, Ive had a bit of an accident with my new phone. I was fishing and it went for a bit of a swim. I lost some lovely pictures, and not just of fish. Summer has arrived here in Scotland and it is looking very bonny. I am working hard on a new cd mostly of traditional songs and looking forward to our tour of Scotland which starts two weeks from now. On Thursday I am going to Edinburgh and will be buying some special whisky for our Dram of the Day. Yesterday my son Sandy won the 100m at his school sports.
