Hi All 👋 My latest entry for LPM’s Photo Adventure: Rural Life.

Hi All 👋 This ginger (zingiber) plantis my entry for Cee’s FOTD. I did not know that the ginger plant looked like this, having only ever seen the root!!!


Hi All 👋 This yellow hawaiian hibiscus is my entry for Cee’s FOTD.


Hi All 👋 Here is my first entry for LPM’s Photo Adventure Challenge: Rural.


Hi All 👋 and welcome to the last Things in Scots for 2019; as I’ve been real busy at work the last few days, this is doubling up as a Fan Of… post. This month I have been collaborating with my wife, Susan (? follow this link to see and hear her post), and we’ve had so much fun that we are carrying on in the New Year with a weekly instead of daily post.
Hogmanay is the traditional Scottish celebration for the end of one year and the beginning of the next.
Happy hogmanay & all the best for 2020 to all


All the Scots words for these posts are taken from The Concise English-Scots Dictionary, by the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.
As we do these posts, we’re learning as well; so we apologise in advance for any mistakes?
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything, please let us know!
Hae a guid day

Hi All 👋 Couldn’t resist one last entry before the New Year for LPM’s Photo Adventure: Reflections.
Happy Hogmanay and best wishes for an awesome 2020





Happy holidays and seasons greetings to those that observe & happy Wednesday to all; hope you are all having a great time
Hi All 👋 and welcome to December’s project: Things in Scots. This month I am collaborating with my Susan’s site for a wee bit of a history of Yule post.
Best wishes to all and we’ll be back again for Hogmanay
