Rocky Acres

We had a quiet evening with the folk in Rocky Acres residential home between Ballyhalbert and Portavogie,on Thursday past... a resident in her 90's was able to recite a little Ulster Scots poem she had learned in her childhood called (We Bernie's cuddle doon)...Gibson has copied it doon and is going to use it! There is something beautiful about the old tongue that modern English just doesn't convey!

Low country boys this evening

Tonight we are travelling one and a half miles down the road to a local residential home for older folks... Thursday is our usual practice night so we will have a very relaxed sing song and yarn wae tha the folk!.

HELLO!...we have been without a telephone and computer connection .. (branch of a tree damaged the wire) and it has taken British telecom three weeks to get us connected again.. sorry to all who have been trying to contact us! folk have even resorted to snail mail
( letter writing ).. to those who have been looking for photos of the action cancer concert at Ballymageough ..i will upload them tomorrow.

This week

This week Gibson is on late shift with Ulster Bus and Richard is away in Bulgaria with a school trip..so nothing much happening, i am running over a wee instrumental piece that i composed a few years ago and hope to go into the studio to put it on disc.. it has a kind of Scotch and Irish lilt to it and i am not sure if i want fiddle or guitar to be the main instrument .. but will sort that out with William at the studio! it is not our usual style and will have keyboard in it but i need to get it recorded before i forget the tune !..will post it on our my space site later.. by.

Workin in the fields around Kircubbin

I just had to take this shot of the sun setting behind the Mourne mountains today as i worked in the fields!
