Well this just gave me the idea for something I could sing tonight at a garden do, except thats just been cancelled due to thunderstorm threat. I'd have sung Braes of Balquidder but note this has Purple heather. Purple noted above. Regular FC version has 'blooming' heather.
Thanks to Liz Randal for the version I have sung.
At RHBay FC (Yorkshire coast) we finished the club night for years always with 'Wild Mountain Thyme' but there the word was Purple heather.
Wild Thyme carpets are in bloom now but only bell heather is out. Another few weeks for most purple heather moors. ie time of Whitby Festival.
Bilberries/Blaeberries to look forward to.
