    Personally, Music was devised from me playing the Guitar and Piano.
    The Avatar photograph was taken in Dublin in a Photographers in O'Connell Street many years ago, this was me in my Young Rock Days.:dancy:.
    Now I'm just an old Rocker:old:.

    Sometimes the wife calls me something else;).

            Mine's a crop from a photo of a statue of Robert the Bruce. I animated it to make the eyes flash but animated avatars don't work on GC anymore :-(

              I didn't realise that was a statue of Bruce @Dave W, he's my hero! :)

              It took me a long time to get the shot for my avatar, it's an Oystercatcher my favourite sea bird and they are very skittish. :doh::)

                          Good question!

                          I love bluebells...

                          We grew up with the garden overrun with Spanish bluebells. For a number of years lived in the Chilterns, where you can't escape the "proper" ones in the spring! Moved to Tervuren, Belgium, where the park woodland is full of them, and then to here, near an area which is famous (well, in Belgium, anyway!) for its bluebells.

                          .... They seem to follow me!

                            It's my beautiful, heavenly scented Sunseeker climbing rose. She was purchased some 14-15 years ago from B&Q on the Isle of Wight as an 18" patio rose (still have the label). She lived in a concrete pedestal pot until about 10 years ago when I planted her in the ground and she found her wings. She now goes 2-3 meters tall, still has tiny leaves and glows in the sunshine.

                                Mines just my Clearview Vision 500 wood stove I had installed last year. The two fans on top are the Ecofan and the larger Vulcan fan which really do move the heat around.
                                Can't beat a cold winters day sat watching logs burn away and best of all the stove lives up to its word and the glass remains clean.
