I missed Christmas Dinner, and New Years. The Clavie made its way through Burghead this past weekend. I would have liked to have been there, and like happened to Ann Lambert Stewart this past Fall, find Jackie Roland Miller visiting at the same time. Maybe Margaret Buchanan would be there as well. And a newly-discovered Sinclair cousin, Alex Wood. Ken Doig is also connected through the Sinclairs. Ray Hennessey would join us, and probably correct me for starting a sentence with the word 'And'. Next August, I hope, I'll be there. Even if just for a day. Get the sea-scent in my soul. I may be at the World's, using kilt-making skills taught me by Ann Stewart, to help keep a couple of the competing Grade 1 bands looking top-shelf. Peigi
