    Thank you for your kind words !

    As far as my English goes, I would say I'm a real sponge. Leave me with a Hillbilly for a few days and I'lllll soak it up (yea-eh) ! Same thing if I watch a film... I'll go from Bruce Willis to Shawn Connery in the same day.

    I suspected that was the case. Still, one can imagine that the herders found the spot as breathtaking as it is today.

    Fab shots Robert. You must find it very inspirational with your music. Your home is super .... We could well find ourselves your way next year ... Elaine is a member and sings with Dan Ar Braz ... has done for last 12 years or so. They done several gigs this year but its been Brittany. I just tag along for the ride ....

    Derek,

    It would be fantastic to have you folks home (try to bring Hamish over if you can ! )
    There is plenty of room for all of you.

    I've been "aware" of Elaine's talent since Eurovision... Awsome artist and a great voice.

    Wonderful experience, even if vicariously, to catch a sense of your homelife. Thanks for giving us all a glimpse!

    Would love to see, or should I say hear, this... sounds like a lot of fun. Wish I could say the same about my French, but I could do Sean Connery a lot easier than I could do French, and I can't do Sean at all.

    Beautiful home and family, not a bad lineage either cuz.

    Best wishes.

    (English for the rest of the rabble to follow)

    Magnifique maison, paysage spectaculaire et ameublement fantastique. Ici aussi on court les ventes de garage mais on trouve rarement des pièces commes les vôtres. Deux jeunes filles ici aussi, 4ans et 3ans.... elles se chamaillent, se tiraillent et s'aiment beaucoup... Une 3e petite fille arrive dans 17 jours... Ouf.... On magasine les échanges de maison en europe, on ira vous visiter un jour, mais pas tout de suite....
    Et j'apporterai qques verges de tartan...
    Encore une fois, magnifique.

    Magnificent house, spectacular scenery and fantastic furnitures. We are all over the garage sales, but we rarely find such beautiful pieces... We also have 2 daugthers, 4yo and 3yo, They fight and bicker, but they do love each other... A 3rd one is on the way, should be arriving on the 20th... Whew!!! We are also on the lookout for a house exchange in europe, we will visit some day, just not quite now...
    And I will bring a few yards of tartan...
    Again, magnificent.

    An amazing place, there. Too bad it's so far from Lille, where I have been spending a wee bit of the past few summers, working with the Catholic University...
