Well I've been here all day Island, and I have been wondering the same. Nobody to converse with at all, though I have added to Anns post LOL
Perhaps, as you say, they have gone North for the Aurora. They may all be having a party at Eldricks to watch the view, whilst he feeds them on road kill and the contents of his cellar, which are as dubious as the road kill LOL

Never known it so quiet for ages. Bet they are all on FB!!!! At least it means I am getting on with making cards without distractions. :-D

Julia Report 24 Jan 2012 17:17

Mau, can't honestly say if Eldrick does something special for tea. LOL
There used to be a song about the lights when I was young.
"The Northern Lights Of Old Aberdeen". always played at Scottish dances.
My, that takes me back. Oh well, better peel some potatoes, instead of coming over all nostalgic.
Ann, you are practically a one woman industry, with your cards.LOL

Just for you Julia...a one and a two.....

When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad
My mother said to me
Come see the Northern Lights my boy
They' re bright as they can be
She called them the heavenly dancers
Merry dancers in the sky
I'll never forget, that wonderful sight
They made the heav ens bright

The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
Mean home sweet home to me
The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
Are what I long to see
I’ve been a wanderer all of my life
Any many a sight I've seen
God speed the day when l' m on my way
To my home in Aberdeen
I've wandered in many far-off lands
And travelled many a mile
I've missed the folk I cherished most
The joy of a friendly smile
It warms up the heart of a wand'rer
The clasp of a welcoming hand
To greet me when, I return
Home to my native land

:-D

Island Babes, you have had more response to this thread in the couple of hours it has been up, than the whole of the front page, all day.
You must have the magic touch.
