Magnolias

Oh yes! Here in Scotland I’ve seen some as big as forest trees. They are magnificent!

wow, that's got to be amazing to see!

Yeah..I’ve never forgotten them on the Isle of Arran.

That's an interesting place. My people, going way back, were Gaelic.

Have you ever retraced your family history by travelling to the places they came from Paul? I have been researching my family tree for three years now and I would love to visit some of the places. In fact I WILL be doing so...just have to wait a little while as we have a very busy year this year. :)

Yes I started to. I've been to Donegal, Ireland for that very reason and I met more Gallaghers than I ever thought possible. I ran out of time and had to come home, but they all came out of the 'woodwork'. We all met up at the Abbey Hotel, which we own. We booked the entire hotel solid for a whole week. It was amazing, the food, the people. Everybody had a wonderful time. I still didn't meet everybody and my Dad passed a couple years ago. I'll never forget it.

Aw..that sounds incredible!

Lovely photo. Magnolias are my prefferred. I'm going to plant one in the front yard, to reign absolute.

They are amazing when in bloom. Which kind are you planting?
