I loved it. <BR/>Me being an immigrant from South Africa, my parents are Dutch and German descendent.<BR/>My hubby's mum came from England and her parents came from the French Hugono's (spelling?) his dad was Irish decent and my hubby now always jokingly brag he is from the Viking clan LOL.

So many links to explore...thank you for all your hard work!<BR/><BR/>Marsha,<BR/><BR/>That's a great place to start...at least you have the name! Alistair has a post about the number of people who contact him re family genealogy. It's an extremely interesting subject, and would be wonderful to pursue.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-90623540338924569022007-10-01T08:04:00.000-07:002007-10-01T08:04:00.000-07:00What a lovely story.

You have been through so much in your life, you deserve some happiness. Your story gives hope and inspiration to others who have been in similar situations. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for supporting the carnival Marion. I'm just checking all the links work. I'm hoping to have the carnival post up tomorrow if you want to come and visit.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524989873664135095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-42562286369523973162007-09-29T15:39:00.000-07:002007-09-29T15:39:00.000-07:00Your photos make me want to return to Scotland mys...Your photos make me want to return to Scotland myself. My adult visits have been to Edinburgh and Glasgow. I haven't been out in the countryside there since I toured with my parents as a young teenager. It's a beautiful place. The main memory that's surfaced from that time may seem a little incongruent though. I remember one day sitting in a cafe when a group of young people came in, making quite a noise. They weren't talking loudly or anything. It's just that they had bells around their necks - and flowers in their hair. That was 1967 and Scott Mackenzie's 'San Francisco' was number one in the charts!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you found the man of your dreams and I hope you enjoy your visit when you come. Like I say, it's a beautiful place - even in the rain!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-67657061144207826682007-09-28T09:07:00.000-07:002007-09-28T09:07:00.000-07:00Tea,I'm happy to see you!

You're very creative.<BR/><BR/>Pauline,<BR/><BR/>It is, isn't it, lol!

Lol<BR/><BR/>Amber,<BR/><BR/>Thank you...I enjoy your blog as well!

Perhaps, sometimes, the longer we wait for it the more ready we are to appreciate it. Then, when you find it, it can seem that everything in your life has led you in this direction, toward each other. I'm glad you found your Scottish love, Marion! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-63701414043240569632007-09-26T13:04:00.001-07:002007-09-26T13:04:00.001-07:00What a great, interesting story and wonderful phot...What a great, interesting story and wonderful photos!

Whilst its beautiful at all times of the year seeing it on clear rainfree days is much better.
