Never heard of this island in the Outer Hebrides but with my sister in law having bought a place in these islands, it may not be too long........

Kind of nice when this came up, a group that my daughter loved when she was young.

Here's a song that I heard oh so many times.

Kelsey Nixon

Ah, celebrity chefs! You get some good ones and others who you turn the channel over to avoid.

I hadn't heard of this young lady but she comes across as quite endearing.

With Autumn knocking loudly on the door, here is a clip of her knocking up a tasty looking vegetable soup.

Florence Cathedral

I once saw a documentary about how a cathedral was built. Fascinating and also shocking at how many people lost their life.
Still, always a thing of beauty and Florence Cathedral is no exception.

Musicfest Canada

I love Canada and had a fantastic holiday there this year.

I never knew that this competition festival even existed, it seems as good a reason as any to return.

Here is a You Tube clip of a jolly entry by 'The Sir William Mulock Secondary School Concert Band'

Legend of the Nighthawk by Swearingen 

Enjoy!
