Hi there I wonder what your hat looks like Sigurd, somehow I can't remember ever seeing you in one, or under one in this case. The relevance of ginger snaps is simple to me - my step mum made really good ones, and my father still does so if anyone wants the recipe.... Sadly not much sun at Maeshowe, although Saturday was great. At least the technology is all working. Personally I think the tree thread is a bit threadbare now. I suggest those who still want to argue should go and read some of the ample literature on the subject of plants in the north. We are all much more partial to reprocessed grass, or rather prime Orkney beef. Sadly cattle would not do well if they only had scrubby trees to eat, which is why we have lots of nice grass. -- Charles Tait Photographic Limited, Kelton, St Ola, Orkney, UK KW15 1TR Tel 01856 873738 Fax 01856 875313 Mobile 07785 220269 All outgoing and incoming mail is checked by Norton Antivirus 2003 email charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk website http://www.charles-tait.co.uk
