Does she play any other instrument's Derek?
Lovely picture..the pipes really add a special something to In A Big Country
I think ,being a MacNeil, she is able to play anything. She is also a fabulous singer, and she could dance the pants off of Cherchill...Cherchill...Cherchill..vith his cigars und his Brandy...Cherchill......

I LOVE THIS BAND!
Hi everyone.. Tiredness knows no bounds, lol.. Thankfully I am well rested after the travelling of last weekend. Overnight coaches aren't too bad as long as you can catch some sleep somewhere along the line.. Just to say that Glasgow Green was a blast (both days) and I am so looking forward to the Gig In The Glen (Dunfermline) on 20 August!!

Hi Queenie.. Hope all is well in Hamburg, and that the sun is still shining in your part of the world.
No hols for me, oh great King!
Not yet!! 2 weeks to go!
Shirl sweetie, the sun is shining way too hot, but I won't complain, since I have been the ice queen for too long this year *shivers*
Tomorrow's my son's 7th birthday, and he's become sooo big!!! He looks like a little adult already HAHA

Hi Queen

I would love to go to the pub right now, but I'm afraid, somebody has to make the cakes!!
Yummy :o)
It'll be a rainbow-fish and a tiger-duck this time! Phew, hard work!!
xx
Queenie
Is he having a party? Kirsty has already hinted that she wants a gazebo in our garden for July 2007.. and a possible barbecue.. (let's hope that they are far enough apart otherwise the local Fire Brigade will be on standby..!!)
Tomorrow's just family: the party will be on saturday!!!
AAARRRGHHH
I hope it will be warm and sunny, so they can play outside in the pool or something.
Remember Woodstock?
NO RAIN NO RAIN NO RAIN
hahaha!
I'll have a lager in honour of the royal birthday party on my return to Glasgow next weekend..
