    Default Apologies

    This is just a short Apology if anyone has sent me Emails and hasnt received a reply!
    Reason being that i have over the past two days had endless trouble trying to send out Mail!
    I just Today found out that my ISP was rejecting my Outgoing Emails,now dont ask why its too Technical for me!
    Anyway they have now reset my Modem and i have now had to enter a new password! But thank goodness al is now back up and working!
    So again Apologies!
    Thank you and dont forget from Sunday to hold all Emails to me!
    Cheers!

    Hi Doc
    Hope your tour went smoothly far exceeding your expectations and that you bring back many good memories. Next time you will have to include Scotland. So you are from Inverness? did I see somewhere you're a Macdonald? now with my interest in genealogy and a quarter Macdonald myself I can not but wonder will there be an Island connection there, one of my Grand uncles went missing in Africa and another one died in Inverness, Ho Ho Ho! just a thought.
    Slainte!
    Donald.

    Yes i really enjoyed the trip,and was really amazed at all the changes over the Years!Took in Paris,the UK,nad South Africa.
    Everywhere i went it was so good and people all over too willing to assist in any way!
    Yes my Grandfather and his Father etc hailed from Inverness so much a Scott myself,and bleedin proud of it too i must say!
    Pity the trip was too short to get to Scotland,but possibly the next time round!
