Zadar Croatia

Today I visited beautiful Croatia! It is hard to believe that there were civilizations around before that of the Scots. I had never heard about this land before until Claire told me to read a wee historical novel... her intentions were to inform me how she was able to know all about the history of Scotland when she came through the stones.. I had told her "Who has the time to write down evra-thing that happens?" - she told me that it was true, that people did, in fact, write down what happened at Culloden and in the Scottish Highlands... and that this was the case for many countries all over the world.

So, today, I decided to venture to Croatia and learn more about their history and visit some of their most famous land marks and buildings. Below you can see me standing in the famous Roman forum amongst the cracked concrete and stone pillars.

Willoughby is in Canada!!

Alas my friends, I have finally found my auld friend Mr. Willoughby... unfortunately the news isn't of the happy sort. I went for a verra long walk in this wee town called Holland Landing in Ontario, Canada where I hear a many Dutch settlers landed....  I am saddened to report that Mr. Willoughby is with the fairies now. I decided to take some pictures with his wee grave that is nestled amang the grass and leaves of this great land. Sleep easy my fran'.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA

Over the long weekend I visited Valley Forge National Historical Park. I managed to stumble

upon a wee cabin that reminded me so much o' my home with Claire on Fraser's Ridge. How I miss that place with the smell of burning firewood, manure, wet grass and wildflowers. It was a private and safe place for us an' the bairns... one I spent many a waking moments trying to perfect an' grow. Albeit it is more convenient in my wee community here (I regret that I will not announce where I have landed as of yet..... too many bampots aboot!)... what with the running water an' the like... but I miss the Ridge some fierce.

I decided to celebrate Easter this year with a couple pints o' stout at a wee tavern I discovered while venturing with my new friend Shannon Bryans, the wee lass. Many a drunk patrons were making fun o' my kilt an' dagger. I told them that breeks are for sissies and almost got into a brawl with a fellow named Egor. 

NORTH CAROLINA, USA (April 2014)

POCKET JAMIE IN NORTH CAROLINA, USA

ArghhhHh!! Apparently I am computer illiterate, Claire had to explain to me how to add "photographs" on my bitty computer here... (she is still learning too but has almost mastered it). Albeit I am still a wee frightened of it since my last accident with my hair, but I am learnin' my ways and I did manage to keep my toe out of harm's way.
A few days ago I was visitin' Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. It didn't take verra long to get there thanks to my friend Colette and her fancy "automobile" - it would have taken much longer on horseback... although I still prefer the fresh air and a valiant steed between my loins.

Sassenachs?

'Ello Sassenachs, T'is I, Pocket Jamie! The man of your dreams, the usurper of all your free time. I was told by some brethren that this "internets" thing is where to go to connect with people from far and wide. So far all I have done is gotten my plaited hair stuck in the "disc drive" and stubbed my toe on the desk... but fear not!, I have decided to hire myself a life coach to teach me the ways of the people from the future, all I have to offer, however, is a cask of my finest whiskey and a large bushel of semi moldy barley. The gent I talked to yesterday thought I was ravin' and called the sheriff on me. I am not sure as of yet what I did wrong, but next time I am bringing my dirk!

I have decided to get into this new trend called "selfies", which I am told is what people do these days. As you may already know, I travel a lot, so I will be documenting my adventures with this wee black box Claire calls a "camera".  Also, make sure you keep an eye on my wee map - I will be updating my where-a-'bouts so as Claire can know where to find me... but you can use it too.... Lord knows I need some more loyal followers around.
