It's been miserable here for days. Light rain fails constantly. It makes going to sites difficult and very tiring. Let's hope that tomorrow is brighter. This weather reminds me of Ray Bradberry's short story, All Summer in One Day. This is summer for the locals. One day of sunshine could be the sum of it, you never know.
Some expressions that we have picked up are "that's lovely." It's often said as a thank you. Tatties are potatoes, ah-loo-men-knee-um is tin foil, ham is called bacon, and Urquhart Castle is pronounced Ur' kert..
Chappies are men, we were told today that we were wearing the proper kit to be out in the rain (referring to our wellies and macs -rain jackets).
We went through a forest today that must have been the model for Fangorn, from the Hobbit. I will attach a picture but it will not show how dark, mysterious and moldy green it was.
