Robertson, a truly wonderful time! It really is too bad about you being so far away BUT how about franchising the Ferintosh experience? Maybe one in western Canada, another in the US midwest, one in the south? We could all celebrate different holidays, Dominion Day in Canada, 4th of July in the midwest, R.E. Lee's birthday in the south. That would leave you enough time to get from Ferintosh to Ferintosh to host all the dinners, with His Lairdship, of course! But seriously, I am hoping to get to northern England in 2008. I would most likely fly in to Glasgow and so a couple of nights in Dumfries is at the top of the list. Here's hoping. All the best to you and Emma. Ya dun gud!
