Now that is not totally true Charles. There is a tree on Orkney..I know because some friends sent me a picture of it. It's on the main street in Kirkwall. They said there is a sign there explaining what it is, and the schools bring the children there to show them what a tree is. OF course these are the same friends that sent (in the same batch) a picture of the farmstead he grew up on outside of Kirkwall and tried to tell me it was some place in the Russian steppes. I have always suspected they were having me on about that one,,,could be both? <g> R -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Tait Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2007 7:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ORCADIA] Wind In Orkney we have the benfit of the wind, unrestricted by all those trees! ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
