Friends, Romans, Countrymen ... GREETINGS! Why miss this chance of new technology to keep in touch with happenings and images at Laikenbuie. I make only one promise - to update this page at least once a year before Christmas - unless this computer breaks down, I fall ill or any other reasonable excuse comes along. Anyway if you've got this far there is no excuse for not emailing us to say "Hi, I'm still (or Still) alive!"
From this (May 85 I think!) came
Joe born 12.05.87 (photo May 99)
Sam born 11.08.90 (photo Oct 98)
