WebEdition29 / May 1999 Produced Monthly
Welcome to the twenty-ninth WebEdition of The Magazine.
It's May again! I turn 49 this month and I can feel every year of that
at the moment. My scanner gave up the ghost and I panicked thinking that
I wouldn't get this edition online without burning the midnight oil typing
everything manually. Fortunately I'm not that daft. A new scanner was purchased
and put to immediate use but then, thanks to the wonderful world of Windows
98, I lost my hard drive and most of the files on it, so it's a miracle you're
reading this at all!
Still, as Janet Morrison was kind enough to say, better late than never.
Meanwhile, two lovely ladies from the Carolinas are heading for Campbeltown
in a couple of months and they've promised me an article for the Magazine
about their trip
so that is really something to which we can all look forward.
They're overnighting with Linda Peacock and then having a week at Bellfield
Farm.
Wee Drams is good this month, thanks to all your input, and especially so to any Gilchrists who read our online Magazine, so keep your e-mails coming.
Take good care of yourselves.
