That's an Aberdeen greeting meaning "How are you?"
Well this tea cosy fits my teapot. And it's very ...well...cosy. It's got a lining and everything.
Thanks to Grand Purl Baa for the pattern which is in her latest book How Tea Cosies Changed the World.
I hope it fits Fi's teapot. It's her SIGNIFICANT birthday very soon.
You're a long time deid, as they say in Scotland, so best have a blether with your friends over a cup of tea as often as possible. Or something stronger perhaps.
I'm looking forward to a knees-up with Fi soon. And in our case, that would mean lifting ours knees up a few hills around the ..burbs and blethering endlessly in the wee hours of the morning.
We call it exercise.
And finally...
Here's tae us; wha's like us?
Gey few, and they're a' deid.
Mair's the pity!
Gey few, and they're a' deid.
Mair's the pity!
Full credit to LynnM for all the help finding Scottish phrases et al...
Have you got a Scottish story to tell? Have you been to Scotland? Are you Scottish? If so, what do you like/miss about Scotland?
