Alba: Scotland

                                            Knowing about the McCrone Report?  What have you learned about it? Generally, I'd only answer a qualified yes! If I'm asked to explain what I knew/know about that report, my limited response would tell how little that I really understood. Broadly speaking, I've interested in politics since my early teenage years and I would have been pleased to be able to vote as early as our present teenagers can do - we couldn't, of course. These are changed days, indeed! Most of my thinking and understandings emerged from access to a wonderfully wide range of reading experiences and sources... I was a child of 'a bookish family', and 'computers were science-fiction items.  (almost unimaginable to kids today!)  In this day and age, it may seem like an alien concept to youngsters:  my youngest years were spen...

That enrichment inevitably fosters and encourages the yen to practice, practice and practice... longing for improvement...an almost impossible objective - but a wonderfully enjoyable journey! Thanks for your time, Ewen ...

                                                                  Once upon a time... A certain person was briefly visiting our small garden shed - for reasons that will remain a mystery - when I tripped over my own feet, and not for the first time ever ! : " amaideach !" /amadʲəx/   ' foolish, ridiculous, silly'  ~  (as my mother tongue would put it) ~  Well, apart from flitting back and fore between languages, the story will continue...

Like all children, they're delightful, of course! Ho...
