Wow!!! You sound like you are already becoming very Scottishly aware. Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Whit!! I remember when I was in Edinburough (spelling?) how unusual the accent was and how hard it was to understand. It does get easier, eventually. I am gonna love reading about your interesting and fun experiences in Scotland! Bet even those English girls will be donning jackets soon!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for pics! I just remember the huge expanses of kelly green with sheep dotting the landscape. So beautiful.
Stay safe and ENJOY!
Love,
