All around the bloomin' heather



O the summer time has comeAnd the trees are sweetly bloomin'And the wild mountain thymeGrows around the bloomin' heatherWill ye golassiego?
Chorus:And we'll all go togetherTo pull wild mountain thymeAll around the bloomin' heatherWill ye golassiego?
You know the folk song don't you? Gail was humming it (out of tune) as we walked around Millstone Hill yesterday. You'll be better off with the Corries' version: 










But where is my lassie?

If only Addi were here....(sigh).

  1. That looks a splendid place Bertie mate. I'm sure Gail's singing is better than Mum's. Do hope the old bum back to normal now.... Deccy x

  5. Beautiful pictures! I love these purple flower bushes! My human, the poor girl is french, says they are called "bruyere" and that they are wild flowers. Thats a shame cause they'd look great in my backyard!
    Lots of love,
