Got grandson Sean up at mine for a few days and got him doing designs and some gifts.. For his mum, dad and brother. Stuff is looking good so far

Looking good Davy. Well, when you're ready to walk out of your dirty, tiring, and tough job as a mechanic you'll be able to set up business doing these and work from home, at your own pace.

Cheers Ken, I had the stuff before to ho this,, I upgraded Che printer and it has made a big difference to the prints, the neat press is of better quality as well,, the mug press is actually a duo unit, The printing on the mugs is done through my small vinyl cutter software,, I upgraded it to the buisness edition and is brilliant for designing stuff, Grandson Sean was up doing the stuff with me,, he picked it up very quickly and will be brilliant at this,, He designed his own xbox mug. The metal door plate looks cool and will do more with it, The cushion covers are brilliant,, done my clan design tonight and will print it tomorrow? Next up is heat transfer vinyl design to go on a polo shirt

Me and my daughter at band dress rehearsal last night,, preparing for Stirling virtual Highland games video shoot, Either going to be good or a train wreck,, it's nearly a new drum corps in the bass section,, I've came in as the most experienced drummer and my daughter second,, and I still regard her as a learner,, and due to lock down,, no where near what we should be at,, still folk not turning up regularly to sort out our playing,, this was me just getting my band kilt last night,, I turned up with my own red clan kilt,,,, so heading in right direction at least.. Look like a band,, play like a band,, To be fair the band was decimated and is rebuilding,, usually takes a year to get to a decent standard,, but folk don't come to bands that are low in numbers,, so it's quite hard,,, Bass section has now got, 7 tenor drummers and a bass drummer,, only three side drummers,, nine pipers,, so still need to recruit more.

Just keep doing it Davy, a liberal helping of infectious enthusiasm should do the recruitment trick, you look really good the both of you. Traditional Scottish Highland dress is as good as any on the planet.

Traditional Scottish Highland dress is as good as any on the planet. It's argyll and sutherland highlanders tartan kilt, British army FAD SHIRT, ARGYLL AND SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS ( SWINGING SIX) NO1 SPORRAN,, BAND usually goes out in no1 lssue kit, but struggling with getting kit,,,, Only the kilt and socks are bands,, I bought the rest myself,, same with daughter,, she got a band swinging six,drums are our own as well 🥁😂,

My Grandfather on my Mum's side is 'Lindsay'' my other Scottish connection. and on my Dad's side, for my English/Irish connection, the 'James' Crest:
My Dad's Mum (my other grandmother) was a 'Bailey', another English connection.

My Scottish Connection. . That was me back in 1984. . Bonkyl(Bunkle,Buncle) Castle. Ruins of a 12th century castle 4km north of Duns John Buncle emigrated from Duns in 1848 and started a farm in Pitfield just up the road from Snake Valley. He left the area when the Gold rush started in Ballarat. John's great grandfather, Patrick was born in Humbie in 1717. Records are then scrappy back to the 12th century My mum's side were all mad Irish catholics. Mum was one of 15 kids Our weather for the last few months has been like what you describe in Scotland Davy No CAA for ages cheers Paul
