Hi there Wee Mags and JimmyD. Isn't this a great place?! Dead impressed by the new format. I feel as if we've been through a tornado and ended up on this beautiful island. It is a shame, though, that all the magnificent and heart-warming posts of the old site have disappeared. However, new beginnings mean new growth. And we can all grow together once again.
(This is weewuman, by the way. Changed my name for the new site) Bye the noom.

Daftie me - meant to write "Bye the noo".

Hang on to your hats our wee Betty's back and we've waiting for your poems to start, so break out the wine or cuppa of your choice and let the party begin

Hi Betty, welome hame!
A thought you'd flitted tae get away frum those bloody sterrs-gie oor Cath ma love the next time ye speak tae her

Re Catherine, betty2 - "wait tae she funs oot she's no a high rankin member ony mair , there'll be hell tae pay" -

mah money's on her bein' back tae where she was within the month!

"Hello everyone" from Rena ,just had a wee chat with our Rena and she has no time to herself since the big meet with family visiting, last time she was in here she was telling us how she'd wrote for 20 mintues about her trip only to lose it.Well she didn't know all about the failure and had not even had time to read my e-mail. But she is thinking about you all and asked me to let you all know .She's hoping to get on soon.

jist wondered whit was happening wi the chat facilities, as i was starting to enjoy them

In the old Board Martin told us where everyone lived. Is it somewhere and I'm missing it.

Betty, it was a shock for most of us and I have to hand it to Mags, aka wee mags, who e-mailed me the problem when I thought my computer was going haywire.

I have a feeling you will present us with a poem soon. I dont think we will forget the old scrapbook. This post will be great for rememberances.

Ah'll second that Ed wance oor cath gets started there's nae haudin her
betty2

Jist chat tae yir hearts content in here jannymac
there's aye somebody aboot that'll answer yi, and hi tae you Rena
betty2

Buntyq, I miss the part that had our locations too. Had you not seen mine, I never would have learned about Lois and Yoga and Bainbridge Island.




Washington State, USA

For the past week my heart was sad
But now today it has turned to glad
We are all posting once again
And taking our trips down memory lane
The glasgow that you all once knew
Into a city of culture it has grew
But many of you will remember its past
And those memories of childhood I'm sure will last
Those happy times I'm sure most of you spent
In a room'n'kitchen in a tenement
Glasgow the city of culture it became
But to all of you it will always be hame
No matter how far away you may roam
Glasgow's the place you will always call home
betty2

Re - "Ah'll second that Ed wance oor cath gets started there's nae haudin her", betty2, she better make it real soon, I'm only "holding the fort" until she gets back in here where she should be - cos ah can't keep this up much longer!

Great ta hear from you Betty , how about the big meet. When are you going to give us all the details.ALL OF THEM,DONT BE MISSING OUT ANYTHING.

Barbara, maybe Martin can squeeze in our location in the new web. Haven't heard from Lois so I'm not sure if they found a house.

You wearin the wee fingers tae the bone there Bard?? Yer playin blinder.I can just hear Catherine noo. "Right get wi the tour you lot !!,an gies yer patter.".

Thanks Betty now I know your back with a wee poem it feels like home .

Betty - once again a real cracker - Davy had better watch out or you'll be the one giving readings next year at the Winter Palace at Glasgow Green - keep it up...

Noo the ferr wance again is comin tae an end
These wee tit bits tae you'se ah'll send
The waverly is still trippin doon the clyde
Wae loats o folk fae far an wide
But also oan this steamer you'll find
Glesca folk o every kind
Maw 's will take their weans away fur the day
Tae Dunoon an Millport and Rothesay bay
Senior citizens wae tears in their eyes
See the empty docks where wance great ships did rise
Many teenagers on this ship do go
Ower tae Rothesay where theres a good disco
Oan the bottom deck a trio play
Music that suits nae matter where you're fae
And if yi want yi cin get up an dance
But wae the rollin o the ship yir takin a chance
There's nowt better than a trip doon the clyde
And this is seconded by all from far and wide
Whilst takin this trip doon memory lane
Ah remember the good days when ah wis a wean
