| | Hi everyone thanks for the warm welcome,
I shall try and answer some of your questions.
I live in Dunbar which is about 20 miles north of the boarder with England.
I have 3 kids which take up a lot of my time :-)
I enjoy doing my family history which is great fun and I take amature photo's
which I use on my new web site.
I also enjoy the internet.
My husband says too much ! |

I would love to visit Scotland someday - every photo I've ever seen looks just gorgeous! Would like to see your photos, we have some artsy types here that would appreciate them.

I think you need 10 posts to be able to post links and/or photos. Amy can answer that or break the rules, LOL.
Or you can talk more.

| | We're pretty well balanced. 3 girls, 2 boys (but both of the cats are boys too).
*I'm currently enjoying a donut with chocolate sprinkles. I love when they have leftovers from meetings! |
