Hi Katrina,
I am a recent follower through my blog feeder and am sure many of our interests are in common. My grandmother came from Buchaven in 1912 to Australia, settling in Ipswich (part of the amazing Scottish diaspora!); and I feel a great affinity for Scots and Scotland and her Fife. Hubby and I had a wonderful drive through Scotland in April. Indeed, the West Coast you pine for is exquisitely beautiful. In this new age we were chuffed to recieve a phonecall from Brisbane from our son and (my)step-son on a remote beach outside of Tongue on the NC 500. Regards from kindred spirit, Cathy
