My First Blog

Hi Tully.  This is my first post on your blog.  I look forward to reading your posts.  I also look forward to helping you with your education.  For example, there are many things we can learn from the past.  Some people say that experience is the best teacher but often experience gives us the test first when we haven't even had a single lesson!  Better to learn from someone else's mistake than make the mistake ourselves because some mistakes can be painful or embarrassing.  But enough of that for now.
Let me tell you a little bit about you.
My Dad (Poppa Dennis) was born in London and my Mum (Mimi) was born in Sydney.  Mum always told me that her family (the Gillespies) were Scottish.  Imagine my surprise when I found out that I am more Irish than either English or Scottish!  So if I am a bit Irish and a bit English and a bit Scottish, so are you!
Before we get into any more history, what about some geography?  Can you find England, Scotland and Ireland on a map?
