Haha I love learning language from other areas! We have a lovely scottish friend all the way here in Wales, I will see if I can shock him with my knowledge!! I love the colloquism of areas, 'Doll' was a pet name in one area I worked on, that was a new one on me but I soon accidently got hooked calling everyone doll, now everyone is 'lovely', its hard to stop myself! Ohh what a fab waterfall! That looks incredible, much better than any housework!

And then (many years ago) my new FiL called me duck.  These regional things can get complicated!

I'm the only member of my family that lives in Scotland, the majority live in Wales ... So I tend to slip a wee Welsh word in every now and then to keep the Scots on their toes as well

Today was another cheap day, we took food to top up the raspberries we snaffled, we laughed, we swam, we spent no physical money apart from.diesel and petrol and had a tasty coffee at Ms Skintys

Adventures dont need to cost the earth, especially when you go with a fellow like minded MSE'r
