Picture by Town&Village Estate Agents Does the weather you get there originate in the US? I knew that hurricanes sometimes make it over there, but I didn't think other storms did. I thought the weather that hits Britain originated in the "pond."

It was something like $292,000 and some odd $. I think the vacation spots you have lined up for this year are just perfect. Scotland's high on our list. Weather wise, it seems the spring months are the driest over there, aren't they?

Tatoo must have something other that the traditional meaning, I reckon, like so many of words over there? lol Just to keep on topic, hope the weather's fine for the the tatoo.... |

The most authentic bagpiping I've ever heard. Towards the end of the video, where it's just the drums, the beat reminds me of Irish step dancing. Must be that Celtic influence.
