Finley

Here is a photo of Finley Buchanan of Farnborough, enjoying an outing in the snow wearing his brand new Buchanan tartan fleece coat. I’m sure he will love it when he is out on the toboggan slopes.

Robin is also one of the professionals on D-on-I and has also survived the first round with her skating partner, rugby hunk Gareth Thomas.

We wish them both good luck for the next round . The programme is shown on ITV on Sunday evening from now until March

New phone

Got a new mobile this week  and have movesd to a new network. It’s all very well having all the latest technology but if it doesn’t work whats the point . Apparently a 3G phone will only work from the approproiate mast. Now, I live in a small village about 5 miles from a conurbation but, although I could get reasonable reception on my old phone this one ain’t going to work. I have just waisted 2 hours on the phone and two years contract because nobody told me my phone wouldn’t work. btw I looked up the coverage on-line and it showed medium coverage where I live but apparently this is a another network provider. I give up.

Home Coming 2014

The organisation for Home Coming 2014 is now getting under way with events being organised through out the year all over Scotland. As the Buchanan clan missed out at the 2009 Home Coming from being represented  I decided then not to miss out this time. I intend taking a pitch / tent at any large organised event  where clans are being represented.

At the moment the re-enactment of the Battle of Bannockburn is the most likely but it is still not certain whether space will be allocated for clans at this event.

I know that it is still some way off and there will be much more detail coming this year but if anybody has any information that they could pass on to me I would be grateful
