I have been told that someone buried a barrel in a neighbour's field. Sadly, the neighbour decided to plough his field, burst the barrel and the oil was lost. Poetic justice? You never could tell.

]]> Comment on What’s in the paper this week? by Michael blair http://blogcabin.co.uk/blogcabin/?p=113#comment-31 Michael blair Sat, 01 Oct 2011 09:43:29 +0000 http://blogcabin.co.uk/blogcabin/?p=113#comment-31 It is a coincidence that as the ss emerald was heading for Gottenberg from new York another ship was setting sail for Sydney out of London,the 1450 ton Ben Voirlich,a wind jammer with my great grandfather,Andrew dick Luckman,on board. This was in 1879 and gives me a little Australian blood as he married out there and my grandfather was born there which gives me patrial rights. But having reached the age of discretion I think Somerset will do with visits to westray and the Cabin enough to satisfy the travel bug. I can't wait until my next visit.
