Oh, Jill, that is so very sad. I don't know why I have such an
affinity for Ireland and Scotland (particularly Scotland) - maybe it's
becaue I devoued a trilogy of novels about ancient Scotland (it
started centuries ago with the Picts and ran forward to the great
battle with England) or what. I just watched a "Cook's Tour" episode
where Antony Boudain went to a couple of cities and sampled eerythin
from the deep-fried garbage they're famous for to rabbit stew and
salmon with a whiskey sauce, nettle stew, kale kenny and whatever. My
favorite movie of all time is Brigadoon. I gues I'm just an old
fantasy-driven softee. Lord, that's scary.
