ma cousin Paddy D will be here tomorrow fae Ireland. If he has overcome his Paddy's day bout that is. He is taking care of the house while I am up north, up to Inverschneckie, then Caithness, meetin up wi pals Elaine and Ian, cannee get much further north on mainland Scotland, hope the weather is kind. Did you know there are whisky distilleries up there? I might need to do some research! But another reason for going north, I need attract more tours to go up there, so some photos may be in order.

Dad might not be joining us for the Pacific, but he’s integral to our purpose through .
Very shortly these 3 hero's will set off on a Pacific row. 9,000 miles from Peru to Australia, with an aim to raise £1 million for clean water projects.
This challenge is so much bigger than anything they’ve taken on before. Although it’s a long way to row, the real challenge lies in that charitable goal.
