happy mum's day and another "Forsyth" sighting

The next day, Sunday, was Mother's Day in Europe so we saw a lot of "I love Mum" or "To my mum" on cards, flowers, and this cake. I took a picture of it for my Mum to say I love you and happy early mother's day. If I could send the actual cake to you, I would. :)

We also visited an old cemetery behind St. Matthew's Church and saw some more street performers, this time with bagpipes and drums.

I found another reference to the "Forsythe" or "Forsyth" clan, though no "e" this time. Furthermore, the associations with this "Forsyth" are not at all legendary, shall we say, and in fact, edge on questionable. Sorry Grandpa. Probably not the legacy you were hoping to find left behind by our ancestors. Hmm... Any votes for the little zebra-print number on the left? I'm partial to the pink set myself. ;)

Lacking any more helpful response to 'Forsythe on Forsyth,' let us return to a helpful text.

Regarding stripes vs. pink vs. etc., the only thing I have to say is 'in the right time, in the right place, to the right extent, for the right reasons.' ;)

I appreciate the blog updates and reading about your adventures! It's exciting to know that you're enjoying your junket across the pond and doing exciting things there.

Do post about your studies at some point--enquiring readers (at least one of them!) want to know!

Sally,
We just tuned in to your blog-site on the Internet machine and had a good time experiencing your past couple of months.

For me, Bryan, it brought back good memories of a trip to Edinburgh in 1986. You seem to be having a lot more fun than I did, however. I went alone, and being a rather shy nerd, I took a long time to meet people and find stuff to do outside the hospital.

For me, Julie, the pictures of rainbows brought back good memories of time spent in the Lake District of England. It rained all the time, and the rainbows were one reward that came with all the showers.

Now that we have rediscovered the site, we will check back regularly to see what is up. Keep the postings coming!
