About people

I love writing about people and I came across the following in a chat with a friend. A chap from the south of England was engaged to a Glasgow lassie and went north to visit his new proposed in-laws. It was all right when they talked to him one on one but when they got together, he couldn't understand a word. As he stood at the edge of the group his fiance came to make sure he was all right. 'You didn't tell me you had a twin sister,' he complained.
'Twin sister?'
'She was talking to your Dad just now,' he pointed out.
'That wasn't a sister, that was me,' his fiance told him.
The moral is, learn the language before you go to Glasgow, snow awfa hard, or in other words, it's not awfully hard.
Oakhaven may be in England but it is about people.

Review of 1820

It's no longer 1820 but The Weaver's Tale a historical tale based on the events around my old area in 1820. At school, I heard all about Henry VII of England and how astute he was, although he had nothing to do with Scotland except that his daughter married well and the result was a grandson, James VI, who took over from the other Elizabeth. What I didn't hear about was the ruction in our own district labelled The Last Armed Insurrection on Mainland Britain with banners calling for Scotland Free or a Desert. Hardly something you'd miss! I've dragged the hero of Drover and his shepherd Deaf Davie into it all and it doesn't look bad, just needs some TLC to bring it alive.
