    Hi @Sheal , I forgot to mention is there any particular info you'd like to know about the fraser family...as i'm with Rootchat and they're brilliant hunters on info and they have a Scotland section, if you'd like me to ask anything? :)

      That's kind of you @Gail_68 :thumbsup: but it's not the Fraser family I'm interested in it's Simon - Lord Lovat. I'm not researching the family, just interested in his life and the lands that he owned. I live on ex Lovat land and my home is surrounded by the huge estate that is still owned by the Lovat family.

      No offence meant but I also prefer to do my own research, as there is no point in me reading history if someone else is giving me the answers. I hope you understand. :)

        Hello @Sheal I totally understand you doing your own research and I hope your enjoying your new book if you've started it :)

        Your surroundings where you live must be beautiful living by the estate also :wow: :)

          Thanks. I've started the new book and so far so good, it's well written but a little hard on the eyes with the text being so small.

          It is beautiful here and I'm looking forward to seeing it in Spring and Summer this year. :)

            @Sheal I am pleased you like your book so far..small text is a strain on the eyes even if you wear reading glasses which I do, I've got my text on size 5 :heehee:

            I could imagine the scenery and if your able to a pic of the land beauty would be nice when it shows :love30:

              I've just started reading about quantum entanglement. It's tough going :phew:. @Fat Controller might know something about it. I found binomial distribution easier :heehee:

                  Actually, the theory of the possible application of quantum entanglement is very interesting, especially with the potential super speed of communication.

                          Agreed, they're actually using "trained" AI to go through data to find exo-planets, super novas, etc, so things are moving at a pace.

                              I think I might be familiar - sounds like a description of the events that take place when I try and prune my loganberry :snorky:
