I always like to look back at the end of a year and say to myself, "what have you done this year" probably to reassure myself that I haven't wasted the time that I have had and others may not have.
A couple of things happened to me this year that I had no control over, firstly I became a grandfather ! and secondly, I turned 50 ! what a huge thing ...and I didn't have to do anything....it just happened !

Stuff that did take a lot of work.........Billy and I finished our album "Been There....Done That" and got it released.We got radio play on BBC Radio Scotland, one of our songs got to No.1 in the Artistopia country music chart and we managed to play 49 gigs this year>
On a personal level...I have now improved my bagpipe playing to the extent of joining a Grade 3 pipe band and will be competing with them next year.....so one of next year's goals will be to win a competition or two...we shall see !
One thing i will be doing over the next year is to try and keep this blog up to date and regular.
have a very good Xmas and a great New Year ,:-)
