Iain beag's perspective on Friday 3rd June

" Don't know what all the fuss is about - but it's not me.


First of all,  it's my Mummy's birthday but they don't let me near the candles on her cake. 

Mind you I enjoy sitting outside in the sunshine for breakfast though I don't get any Buck's Fizz.

Then they dress me up in this skirt though you must admit I look very good in the MacLeod tartan which was the same as Dad's and Seanair's and dare I say that having youth on my side, I even look better than them in the family tartan!. 

I then pose for lots of photos with the family including one where my Daddy makes me hand over a lovely teddy horseshoe to  my newly-acquired Uncle John and his bride, my Auntie Morna (she who shares my birthday and normally gives ME the presents).  I wanted to keep it myself.   

Quite honestly, I'm happiest when I get my kit (oops kilt!) off and am ready for a bath!    I am really looking forward though to my own christening next month when Auntie Morna and Uncle John are going to be my godparents and I will once AGAIN be the star of the show!"



I was the youngest person at the wedding and possibly the best-looking!







I did think that the oldest person (my great GreatAuntie Katie, aged 91) wasn't bad either!
