Galen Your tiddler is a poppet. Such a pretty wee girl. I can see the family resemblance. 
May I add that I'm very partial to banana cake.
Soutra You sound like the perfect Granny. Agus I like "Three Craws". The first time I heard it was at a ceilidh in the village hall. Three male friends, who were celebrating their 70th birthdays, performed it for the party goers.
Lona I hope that your migraine is long gone.
Sel wink Tell us soon as possible, us lot are awfully nosey.
I was browsing through a book of Scottish songs and one in particular brought back a distant memory.
An Eriskay Love Lilt...
Vair me o, o rovan o,
Vair me o, o rovan ee,
Vair me o,ru o ho,
Sad am I , without thee.
When I'm lonely, dear white heart,
Black the night or wild the sea;
By love's light my foot finds
The old pathway to thee
Vair me o, etc
Thou'rt the music of my heart,
Harp of joy, o cruit mo chridh;
Moon of guidance by night,
Strength and light thou'rt to me..
Vair me o, etc
When at the convent each class was asked to sing [I think on a Parents evening] I was not one of the choir [tone deaf, apparently.] Instead, I conducted the form choir who sang this song. When I turned to face the audience after the performance, my father pulled a funny/silly face. I remember it well 
. So, it seems that the songs I've loved best were of Scottish origin going way back to Westering Home and Skye Boat Song learned at primary school. And, all these years later, I'm living happily in Scotland.
of course, which I shall make right now.
