While my maiden name is Coyne (Irish), my mother's is Fletcher so there's a bit of the Scots in our line as well. No wonder I felt so at home there.<br /><br />Ronnie, you and Fiona were very much in my thoughts as I viewed the book sculptures. They are magnificent and a must see if in Edinburgh. <br /><br />So...will we be seeing a poetree next to a river or sitting in field on your blog in the future? The artist left instructions for how to make one. I may just have to give it a try...

From beginning to end, it was all outside my comfort zone and I loved every second! To say it was a workshop isn't adequate - it was an experience of a lifetime and, in some ways, a life changing experience as well. <br /><br />I'd forgotten that you were in Edinburgh last fall. What did you think of the castle? My husband and I toured it...oh...15 or so years ago. I chose to admire it from the outside this time.

I kept looking around and thinking, "I'm in Scotland. I can't believe I'm really in Scotland." Sans husband and little urchins! <br /><br />The book sculptures are exquisite as is Edinburgh. It has a very comfortable feel. So much so that several times I found myself thinking that I could live there.
