Merry Christmas Folks!

This last two years has been a real uphill struggle for low country boys with trials and storms coming from the most unexpected places and folk! but Richard joining us with his Dobro, guitar and vocal... has brought the excitement back , the three of us would like to thank everyone who has prayed for us and supported and encouraged us through thick and thin! Trusting you will all have a merry Christmas....

... Gibson, Richard and Ivan.

Home







In last few days i have been ploughing, as the morning mist lifted.... milly and i watched as a few terns and gulls circled aboves us then dozens appeared from nowhere swooping down and landing behind the plough..i said under my breath ...Lord you have fed the birds this morning! There was a beautiful sky as we brought the straw in you just had to stop and look and look and look and feel so small!..
