I think that if major things happen here I’ll go back to Scotland. 70 years ago this week, grandfather moved down here . He said, that if he could, he would have sold this farm the day after he’d bought it. Might soon be time to go home. My work here is nearly done.
Strange, your words; i was talking to a girl in Scotland, I explained that my restless feet were starting it itch and that 20 years in one place was quite long enough ….
It turned out that there was a vacancy coming up for someone to generally sort of oversee a large complex, there were holiday cottages and policies with lawns which would need cutting, firewood collecting, that sort of thing, there was in-by land and the Hill - and it was explained that for foreign visitors someone with an English accent would be of help, as so many of the visitors struggled with the heavier Scottish accents - oh, and as a by-the-by, and as they had quite some low-lying grass land, did I know anything about sheep? ……..
No one can be this lucky I thought ~ and I was right, the bloody man who owned the place only went and died ~ the miserable old sod - some people only ever think about themselves!
