:: Lady's Tower :: Lady Janet Anstruther, wife of the Laird of Ardoss and Elie, had this tower built to provide her with a changing room for when she wished to swim in the sea. She also had a bell-ringer sound a warning to make sure that nobody watched her as she swam. She took things too far though when, in 1771, she ordered the flattening of the hamlet of Balclevie to improve the view from her house. A local "spey-wifie" (i guess witch is close enough) laid a curse on the house that only 6 generations of the family would ever live there. It came true, although I would have thought that something a little more immediate would have been appropriate. You can just see the Earlsferry lighthouse through the window of the tower

:: The Last Surviving Great Romantic :: Does anyone know who or where i can apply for an extra 2 hours for my day? The days just seem to be flying by and sometimes i get really scared at the thought of 'one day less to live your life'... someone once said that 'days are like suitcases; some people can pack more into them than others'. very true i think..... Anyway, in the middle of my very 'busy' schedule i somehow found the time to attend a concert at Waterloo with Tunde. The boy is good .......as they say. He did some of the old lighthouse family songs and material from his 'new' album [about 2.5 years old]. what i like the most about him is how he's so very proudly nigerian. cultured, very smooth and obviously he's done well for himself yet he never hides the fact that he's nigerian no matter who his audience is. nice touch methinks. you come across a lot of people [not just nigerians] who having spent a few years here in england, would go as far as requesting a ceremony to renounce their original nationality/origin. this is quite sad and unnecessary i think. Surely God would not bother creating a race or tribe He didnt care about. In any case your identity would always follow you down the generations like a bad smell. What's it like where you live?

:: Tribute to my beloved husband ... :: For this Valentine's day, I wanted to make a surprise to my husband ... Who comes and has a look at SC each time his comes back from his office at lunch time ... Thank you Daddy for the photos you made, and I created the collage ... We had this beautiful day, during which we said : "Yes Forever" front of our family and best friends ... The situation is quite complicate, then we can't yet do it officially ... But as we said, for us it's like if we were wife and husband since we are together ... We chose this date, and couldn't do it officially, but could then have our dreamed wedding ... In our garden, married by one of our best friends Sylvain. More than a paper, it is a moral and spiritual commitment ... We drew what is graved on our rings : two snakes that have the infinity 8 lied form ... We drew as well our wedding cake that is so unusual in France, but it's the one I wanted to have !!! The boat on it is Fred, and the lighthouse is me ... I wrote a poem for Fred on this topic, that's the one we chose to invite people for our wedding ... It tells our story ... This is the translation of it ... Once upon a time, there was a Small Ship lost in the middle of the ocean which was bringing forward without knowing where he was going to. He had found a way, but it turned out that it was the wrong one. Since that, he is wanderring, braving alone storms ... And he really feels so lonely ... Once upon a time, there was a Small Lighthouse and his Baby on an isolated islet in the middle of ocean. Once, a ship had there a port of call, but it didn't work for them ... And he feels so lonely ... Little Ship is bringing forward in streams, when a lovely mermaid tells him the way for a so lovely islet where he could have a port of call and have a rest. He would find there a so welcoming nice Little Lighthouse Little Lighthouse can see far away Little Ship 's sail coming ... for once, he doesn't worry But what's happening ? Little Ship docks
