November of this year took me to the beautiful Isle of Skye. We were late going this year , normally we are up there around August each year so we catch the long days and the beautiful sunsets. However, poor, Paul ( hubbie) had to have a rather nasty operation on his shoulder acromioclavicular joint which involves all sorts of nasty things like cutting off and shaving bone eeek, so we holidayed at home instead.
Anyway in anticipation of his 50th birthday 9th of Nov and always lacking funds, I started to sell items on ebay, with a lot of success I must say. I managed to save up enough to rent a cottage for a week and also pay for the fuel and a new guitar for Pauls Birthday.
So anyway, we went up to the Isle of Skye and took up a guitar and keyboard and started writing songs, the result being the birth of a new duo called "Skye Ladder" The name comes from us wanting to move to the Isle of Skye at some point, it also is an indication of what we would like to achieve :0)
We've published a list of songs ( below) and are currently recording these at Neils studio in Littlebrough.
