Panda, what a gorgeous photo, son & pup both absolutely adorable, that was such a heart warming scene [:)] Jinty -
Raindog, loved your photo, the setting was sooooooo peaceful. PPS, loved your painting, very impressive, your choice of colours was absolutely delightful. Pads, I make my own Christmas Cakes too, mine are recovering from a hangover as we speak !!! (OK, write) [:)] made them in September, always make one for my daughter too. Yours looks lovely. I actually am not very fond of Christmas cake, but love making them, OH and son in law demand extra marzipan, so OK, I spoil them, almost 1 inch thick with marzipan every year, costs me a fortune, but they are worth it. [:D] Jinty

Morning Chris Will try and find that out for you, Winter is here already, finished work at 0800 this morning, blowing Severe Gale Force 9 last night, could hardly hear myself think for the noise, thought the roof of the building was going to lift off [:'(], very busy night, made the time disappear though [:)] Jinty

Chris, the fantasy pole is amazing, [:-))] I am not sure what type of tree it is, nor who does the carving, but can find out, I do know he stays here on the Island, he does a great job, very clever with the chainsaw. [:)] Jinty

Hey Chris, we have this one in the Castle Grounds here in Stornoway, not too shabby, eh !! [8-|] [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/Totem.jpg[/IMG] Jinty

Thank you so much, it is a lovely Island to stay on, even when the wind is blowing horizontally in a Gale Force 8, such fun trying to stand up, work can be interesting when that happens. OH laughs when I suddenly take off (mind you, he is very quick to come and help), but finds it so funny, problem is I am only little so find it hard to stay upright. Nope, nothing to do with the wine!! [;-)] Snowing outside now!

Thanks NBD, there will be in 4 years when I retire full time to France [:D] [:D] Can't wait.

Wow, some beautiful photo's, I took this from the window in my workplace last night, it was lovely, (almost worth being at work) !! [;-)] [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/Sunsetwork.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks for all your lovely comments, here is a photo of Lews Castle, taken whilst on a walk round the castle grounds in summer, I like to look at it now and again just to remind myself that the sun does shine sometimes, here in Stornoway [:P] [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/Castle.jpg[/IMG] Jinty
