Good morning and happy St Andrew's day from me too

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Andrew's Day under the Southern Cross)

GOD bless our land, our Scotland,
Grey glen an' misty brae,
The blue heights o' the Coolins,
The green haughs yont the Spey,
The weary wastes on Solway,
Snell winds blaw owre them a' —
But aye it's Hame, lad,
Yours an' mine, lad,
Shielin' or ha'.

It's Hame, it's Hame for ever,
Let good or ill betide!
The croon o' some dear river,
The blink o' ae braeside.

God bless our land; it's yonder –
Far in the cold North Sea:
But 'neath the old Saint's glamour
It's calling you an' me:

It's Hame, it's Hame for ever,
Let shore or sea divide!
The croon o' some dear river,
The blink o' ae braeside.

God bless our land. We dream o't —
The days aye brakin' fine
On the lang, lane glints o' heather
In the glens we kent langsyne.

Ay, we are Reubens, rovers,
'Neath mony an alien star,
But flaunt the blue flag o'er us,
Pipe up the " Braes o' Mar,"
And steppe and nullah vanish,
And pomp and pelf and fame —
It's gloamin' — on a lown hillside,
An' lads, . . . We're . . . Hame.

Happy St Andrews Day to All on the Scottish Forum,xxx

Good Morning Folks. A bit grey here (again) but a hint of it brightening up. A few odd jobs to do and general pottering today. Having to wait in for delivery. Just watched the 2nd episode of "The Last Miner" on BBC iplayer. A sad and moving programme. Closure of the very last pit in the UK. Something we will come to regret for sure ! Even if you are not "into" mining or underground stuff, it's well worth seeing.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Mike.

Thanks Myrtle. May never heard of that poem before. Mike hope you don't have to wait to long for the delivery. I watched a bit of that programme it is sad all those men losing their jobs.

Good morning

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Met my niece today and she picked out clothes for her little boy and her nephew. That's me almost finished except for a few gifts for family..

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Morning All. Fog here this morning but it should burn off soon (hopefully). You all sound very organised with your present buying and wrapping. Every year is the same for me - an 11th hour job !!!
