Hello again Mike!

I was at Edinburgh Uni in my (far-off) youth, and spent many a fabulous time at the Tattoo. The lone piper used to make me sob.

I took my husband to Edinburgh for the first time quite recently, and he was enchanted too.
It really is a lovely city.

I like the whole of Scotland. Magical place!

When I first came down to England to teach, I had quite a strong Scottish accent. I now speak Broad Norfolk. But I started in W London and spoke with rather a cockney twang. Even my French has become 'contaminated' with an African singsong lilt copied from my husband.
I seem to be a veritable sponge when it comes to speech...
