The rowans or mountain-ashes are shrubs or trees in genus Sorbus of family Rosaceae. They are native throughout the cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the highest species diversity in the mountains of western China and the Himalaya, where numerous apomictic microspecies occur. The name rowan was originally applied to the species Sorbus aucuparia, and is also used for other species in Sorbus subgenus Sorbus. Rowans are unrelated to the true ash trees, which belong to the genus Fraxinus, family Oleaceae, though their leaves bear superficial similarity.
Formerly, when a wider variety of fruits were commonly eaten in European and North American culture, Sorbus counted among the home fruits, though Sorbus domestica is all but extinct in Britain, where it was traditionally revered. Natural hybrids, often including Sorbus aucuparia and the whitebeam, Sorbus aria, give rise to many endemic variants in the UK.
The traditional names of the rowan are those applied to the species Sorbus aucuparia, Sorbus torminalis (wild service-tree), and Sorbus domestica (true service-tree). The Latin name sorbus was loaned into Old English as syrfe. The name "service-tree" for Sorbus domestica is derived from that name by folk etymology. The Latin name sorbus is from a root for "red, reddish-brown" (PIE *sor-/*ser-); English sorb is attested from the 1520s in the sense "fruit of the service tree", adopted via French sorbe from Latin sorbum "service-berry". Sorbus domestica is also known as "Whitty Pear", the adjective whitty meaning "pinnate". The name "mountain-ash" for Sorbus domestica is due to a superficial similarity of the rowan leaves to those of the ash; not to be confused in Fraxinus ornus, a true ash that is also known as "mountain ash".Sorbus torminalis is also known as "chequer tree"; its fruits, formerly used to flavour beer, being called "chequers", perhaps from the spotted pattern of the fruit.

Plot: When Rowan and Isabel return to the coastline where they spent a blissful summer, almost fifty years before, it's with a very different purpose. Isabel is dying; she wants it to be here, now. As darkness falls, their past collides with the present and Rowan is called upon to make a sacrifice that will preserve their unity forever. Passionate, searing and poetic "The Mapmaker" examines a life and love that, just like all of ours, is all too fleeting.

Plot: Dying Breed interweaves the two most fascinating icons of Tasmanian history: the extinct Tasmanian tiger and "The Pieman" (aka Alexander Pearce) who was hanged for cannibalism in 1824. Against all odds, Pearce escaped from the most feared penal settlement of the British Empire - Sarah Island - and disappeared into the impenetrable forests of Western Tasmania. Seven convicts escaped with him, yet Pearce was the only one that emerged... along with chunks of human flesh in his pockets. The legend of Pearce was born. An extinct species... a long forgotten legend... both had a desperate need to survive; both could now have living descendants within the Tasmanian bush. Many sightings of the tiger have been reported. Many hikers have gone missing. Hundreds in fact. Zoologist Nina is convinced there are still tigers remaining in the Tasmanian wilderness, and she has proof - a photograph of a paw print snapped by her sister just before she met with a fatal accident in the bush eight years before. Unable to attain funding for an expedition, Nina fears her wish to finish her sister's work (and perhaps lay to rest recurrent nightmares she has about her sister's death) will never happen. Her partner, Matt, manages to persuade an old mate Jack to help finance the trip - at a price. Jack brings along a girlfriend, Rebecca, who uses the trip as an escape from her stifling real estate job. On their quest to find the extinct tiger, the group venture deep into isolated territory and into the domain of "Pieman" descendants. "Sarah" is a small township that passionately upholds its cannibalistic heritage in honour of the convict patriarch that gave birth to it. It needs to stay hidden to survive... but it also needs fresh "stock" to breed. The four hunters become the hunted.

Plot: After a card shark is caught cheating, he is taken out and lynched by the drunkards he was playing against. Soon afterwards, the men who were in the lynch mob start being murdered, one after another; all by hanging. Who will be killed next and who is responsible? Is it one of the original party seeking to cover their accursed deed, or perhaps the mysterious Rev. Jonathan Rudd, who has recently arrived in town?

I dressed up as Ronald McDonald to bring Rowan and Ivan McDonald's food. I then brought Rowan back to see my new house for the first time still dressed as Ronald McDonald. Video of me visiting Rowan and Ivan's house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oDGzcNFMuI This video was filmed and edited on an iPhone and uploaded with no internet service (haven't gotten my computer and internet over here yet).
Rowan gets stuck all the time! This time he gets stuck in a chair!
This is actually last year when we were getting our fence built. Rowan got stuck in a hole that was made when they were digging places for the posts to go. Rowan decided to jump in one! It's very hard to get out!

Promises, your promises, a gift you gave to me
Lies and broken promises, oh why did I believe
Treated me so badly, treated me so cruel
How could you betray me, take me for a fool
Promises, your promises, oh vain and foolish me
You tricked me with your promises, so blind I could not see
How could you beguile me, when I needed you
Surely I have been deceived, when I thought you true
Always
Always
Promises, your promises, a trail of broken dreams
All your lies and promises were never what they seemed
Treated me so badly, treated me so cruel
How could you betray me, take me for a fool
Always
Always
Always
Always
Always
Always
Always - you broke my heart and threw away
Always - the love I gave you every day
Always - there's nothing left that I can say
Always - look after number one
Always - you broke my heart and set me free
Always - oh how you lied and cheated me
Always - so now I know how things must be
Always - look after number one
Always - you broke my heart and threw away
Always - this love I gave you every day
Always - there's nothing left for me to say
Always - look after number one
