A youtube clip. She's singing about summer up in Shetland, and she mentions a heron, which as a would be poet is all right by me.

Thanks B. Yes, builders still here, got te kitchen sortyed but the bathroom currently has an open view of the back garden, pee with a view lol!

Still cleaning today, leaving painting to the New Year, I've no energy for it right now.

Lallans - *claps hands*, I just read a Haiku Scotland issue a few weeks ago that was entirely Lallans (with translations into English). I thought they were really beautiful!
