As we come closer to the end of an intresting year I think back back on some of the things that I done in 2010, My biggest event was a move from Vancouver island in Canada's west coast to Alberta over a thousand miles away.

Thanks James, I'm glad you liked it. After reading your poems this video just seemed
so right and made me think of you and your Scotland home.

This one is for you James..Beautiful video with Scotlands finest "RUNRIG" Singing "GOING HOME" We have shared more then a lifetime of music and videos back and forth the past years and it was the passion and love of Celtic music we both shared that started it all but sadly back then I was not familiar with Runrig. Since then Runrig has become one of my very favorites with 71 videos in my youtube playlist and countless more saved in my faves! I hope you dont mind me posting this to you..ENJOY!
