Last blogged 19/04/07. Here I go again as If nothing never happened. I had computer trouble, and only the other day did I get going again. Anyway, who could have wasted the beautiful weather experienced recently: the long walks in the evenings, and then straight into bed - wonderfull stuff !

Sad though to contemplate the floods in England and ensuing devistation. This is hard to understand as we enjoyed unrelenting sunshine. Where does Climate Change enter the equation. I'd like to know.

And to mar matters further, may I mention the horrible terroist attempts in North and South Britain. Really has the world gone crazy?. I'd say yes!

Living on a west coast island has its advatages. No wonder one is reluctant to leave it to go to the mainland.

Hope you don't mind my lapse. I'm not wothy of praise, I know, but will try to keep in touch.

Last blogged 03/07/2007 : the weather was mentioned and therefore the floods down south in England, a frightening development, unfortunately a second time round. Here in Tiree we have continued fine weather, Tonight it looks as if rain is on the way. As we are quite a kind people here, we seek more sunshine for he visitors, and that the rain will only prevail briefly.

Culture, well it has had different appoaches as to its worth over the years. It has been related that Goering of World War 11 infamy considered reaching for his gun at the mention of culture.

From the 8th to the 13thof this month I particaped in " Feis Thiriodh,"a festival of music, song and dance, this was my first appearance though it is a yearly event.

The "Feis" week" was duly dedicated with a church service on the Sunday. And on the Monday almost a week followed of tutoring in the various art forms plus lectures a concert and finally a dance.

My part in it all was to attend classes consisting first of pipe chanter playing and then learning the skills of mouth organ playing. Who hasn't heard of Donald Black the well known and expert player of the humble moothie and my tutor.

I as a very mature student enjoyed being in the company of the young, and my insight is one of future hope that the west coast Islands are on an upward trend as regards the traditional resources. I can even now see in Tiree, a revival of musical flair.

Climate Change & Global Warming are still to the forefront of our reading and deliberations. It now seems that there are as many differing opinions as there are stars in the night skies. Numerous divisions remain among those who delve into the reason why.

I have shown an interst in the above subject over a period of time, and in my opinion there is only a few years since the matter came into the limelight. I thought at first that it was all quite straight forward. The CO2, I believed, of the last one hundred years being the reason for it all. All we had to do was reduce the polluting of the atmosphere.

But now as already said, we are faced with conflicting theories. For example, some attest that it is all a lot of bunkum; that is the pollution. Others say that it is rather a natural process as happens over long periods of thousands of years.

What did the old adage say ? : Together we stand divided we fall. Well, I believe that a concerted effort would make the difference required.
