Hi there
« on: April 28, 2010, 06:26:40 PM »
My name is Danny Thompson..
A real Scottish name..
I just spent last week in the highlands of Scotland with my wife Leslie.
we had a boat trip on Loch Loman and a trip to see the three sisters mountains.
Very nice.
Highly recommended.

Welcome back Danny! Haven't heard from you for some time. You tell us more of your trip and of course post some pictures! By the way, I see from your profile that you live in Norwich, UK if my memory serves that is close to the village of Thompson which dates back to before the Domesday Book. Have you visited there? I'm curious because the Thompsons in Northumberland are supposed to be from there so trying to make connections to the borders.

Hi Danny!

I think the last time we heard from you it was about a murder, right?  Glad to see you back!

Yes - do post some snaps of Loch Lomond!  You're so lucky to be able to zip around over there!
