There is much of the brogue in my ancestral background -- along with English and oh heavens . . . Welsh -- I'm quite fond of it. I can still roll my r-r-r-r-s with the best of them.
Bigger bodies of lake water here, but it takes days and days to get from one place to another. My son, who lives and works in Indianapolis, keeps his boat here and it is more of a speed boat, a SeaRay, so he can travel faster than we did when he and his sister were young. We had a Gibson 50' houseboat, that thing was about as big as my house. Very slow. But very convenient for life aboard. We always planned to get a trawler, still slow but great boats. Life and death got in the way of those plans and though I do sometimes with friends, I don't go out on the water very often.
Lucky you to hop a train and be at either coast so quickly. The dogs, spaniels? Beautiful. The mostly brown one, is that Church, or am wandering around lost in all these messages? Sunshine is such a mixed mutt, she doesn't even like to get her feet wet. So much for the resemblance to a Labrador. Only dog on earth who must have an umbrella. But she loves snow! And her propeller, it never stops either. If she'd ever get in the water she could easily push the boat, she is so big and strong.
I loved the sheep songs too! I think Molly didn't know whether to chase or run the other direction. Love those old rock walls in that video. Did you say it had been a church?
