That's great, Brian Bilston has such a way with words! Awick took me a bit to work out, but think it's 'oik'.

Fascinating! I hadn't realised that there could be another meaning to that phrase in German. However, I struggle with the varying definitions of 'next Friday' in Scotland and England. Always best to name the date!

I had a job to do in South Queensferry yesterday , and I left home in brilliant sunshine. However, when I arrived in South Queensferry, it was shrouded in haar. Not to be deterred, I went back to North Queensferry, found a nice vantage point, and waited for this to unfold in front of me.

This evening's sunset at Milarrochy Bay on Loch Lomond. I love that we have such great wild spaces just a short trip from Glasgow.

Ha ha! That's a great slogan and good on the firm for using dialect.

Can't work out if that's dialect, Denglisch or just Kauderwelsch!

Two photos of the riverside in Düsseldorf Germany. The top one in black and white taken apparently in 1990 of a four lane road and the bottom one apparently taken in 2019 is the same view full of grass, trees and people enjoying a sunny day
