I,ll write a 3500 verse poem about it yet :)blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-30929976296704935702011-11-29T22:07:38.178+00:002011-11-29T22:07:38.178+00:00Great post of another area I know very little of. ...Great post of another area I know very little of.
