Hi Sandy!

My sister is in St Serfs grove.

What set up do you have? Do you have animals or chickens?

hello and welcome from the very middle of England-shire!

Must have been hitting the bottle as they all talk like that across in the pubs here!!

Sandy thats how they speak (or rather my version of it!) up in the North East. Anne hails from up that way.
Alloa is positively EASY compared to that I think

I am originally from the Trossachs

WE talk posh!

(Unfortunately have no booze in the house just now and anyway, it's a school night!)

Brittany! How glamorous sounding! Whats the weather like over there just now?

Weather has been wonderful for past 3/4 weeks. We actually need some rain now. Its not glamorous, it is heaven though.

My Mum brought my sister and I up to speak properly, but my Grandma was from Torry, so we had to understand her, and my Dad was Glaswegian so we had to be able to be understood by his side of the family when we came down here on holiday. So I can now break into almost any accent after about five minute of chatting with someone.

The Trossachs is sooooooooooooo stunning yet sounds so "carry on"

I would love living there, me and Steve up the Trossachs??

Slipping into different accents is a talent Anne and I'll bet you are good at languages!

Yes The Trossachs sounds a bit rude doesn't it ... I remember seeing it in a book of weird words once with "makie-uppie" definitions. Trossachs were, it said, the useless epaulette things found on the shoulders of trenchcoats!

I love playing with makkie uppie words and makkie on things. But, no, basic School French is all I can muster I'm afraid. Even having French dogs and going over there regularly hasn't improved it much.
