I do not know any Scottish lingo, Billy. Thank you for this wonderful introduction! If I tried to speak Scottish, I definitely would be havering!
hahahha thats funny suzette, I bet you would be good, thanks for the nice comment.
My maternal grandfather, Watson Sinclair, did not speak with a Scottish accent. I do remember him saying that my brothers and I made a mess of the King’s English.
wow, thats interesting, thank you, laughing at hi saying you made a mess of the Kings Lanuage lol.
These are so much fun, Billy! I could keep havering but I think that I will stop now.😃
lol your not a haverer lol, thanks susan.
Haha, what a fantastic post on ‘haver’! You turned a simple word into such a lively story—it made me smile all the way through. Truly superb writing!
lol, thanks Hary.
Heartfelt appreciation 🙏
You lift me up when I feel low,
Your gentle touch makes spirits flow.
Hary your a poet and you dont even know it, lol.
Poetry isn’t always ink on paper, my friend — sometimes it’s hidden in laughter, in the rhythm of banter, in the way words dance without trying. If I’m a poet without knowing it, then maybe you’re the muse who revealed it.
perhaps ive created a monster lol, good analysis friend..
Dear friend,
Your words touched me deeply, and I’m truly grateful for your kindness and support.
Please never take my words in the wrong way—
because you are not only a true writer, but also a genuinely good human being.
It’s always a joy to share thoughts with you, and your presence adds light to this space.
Hary it was a figure of speech pal, no offence was taken, scots language differs from many countries and can sound different to what it actually means lol.
Willie, I sincerely hope you didn’t feel hurt by anything I said.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to apologize if it came across the wrong way.
You are truly one of those awesome and inspiring people whose presence always adds positivity and joy.
It genuinely makes me feel so good to see and connect with people like you, and I deeply value that bond.
Please know that my words were never meant to cause discomfort — they were only meant with respect and admiration.
I truly appreciate you, and I’m grateful for the chance to share this space with you.
not at all Harish everything in the garden is rosy, its nice to know you as well, have a great day…
Beautifully said! Your words make the garden feel even more vibrant. I’m equally glad to know you. Thank you for your kind wishes—may your day bloom with peace and joy too.
and you pal, have a good one..
