In my very first blog I don't want to start by talking about me 

but about three very significant events that occurred one weekend 

in April 2011. 

First, Prince William spent his last night as a bachelor. 

Second, Duke spent his first night as a Brackin.  

And third, I won the Yoron Island Golf Championship.

How Duke (that's him in the cup) 

found us is an enduring mystery.

The nearest farm is half-a-click 
away and he could hardly walk.

Here's how he looked on that first night.

And now he seems to have settled in.

But enough about dogs.

Yoron Island - that's where I live. The only other 'foreigner' here is a friendly Scot

who set up this blog site for me, me being a computer hick.

"Don't make 'em too long', he advised, 'people get bored'.

Okay. Brevity.

Where was I ?

Ah, the island.  Here's Yoron from space 

And here's a close-up.

Yoron's main claim to fame is that it appeared in an award winning movie

called…(hang on a minute)….'Megane' (eyeglasses)

This brought a huge influx of 23 tourists, one of whom we met 

- a large German lady - wobbling down the lane in a bikini and with 

a carpet bag big enough to hold, er ... a carpet. 

She was looking for the beach. My wife kindly directed her and received 

a few umlauts as thanks.

But that's getting away from the subject, and I think you're getting bored.

So, I'll finish my first blog and ask my Scottish friend how I'm doin'.
