First, Martha, sorry for the mix up of your son for a second daughter!! I hope he can forgive me. One day maybe I'll make it to Oshkosh and meet with you and them and who knows who else from this thread!!
And second, Hi Michael, How do you do and thank you for the corrections. Typical lazy reading on my part as I do know that much of American geography to distinguish West Virginia from Virginia, it is just that I don't really know where Winchester is and should have checked. Time for Google Earth!!
Actually I am of English and Scottish extraction but my family have had a house here since 1964 and my wife and I made it our home in 2004 after she retired and I began working more from home, which meant I could live in the only home I have ever missed when I am away!! Cork is our nearest city and these Southern Irish are the best of the bunch. If you ever come to see the land of your forefathers please look us up... Killian, another of us on this thread, is coming by later this month on a trip he plans to make around the Ring of Kerry.
Better work now...
All the best everyone
Rory
