Just a quick note to say I wish all of you out there a very happy new year!
My Grandparents were from Glasgow, so I have an endearing relationship with Scottish New Years traditions, particularly the loud, passionate chorus of ‘Auld Lang Syne,’ at midnight. As closely as we can translate it, ‘Auld Lang Syne’ means something like, ‘For old times sake.’ I love that song, as do so many of us.
That been said, I’m very much up for whatever new times are waiting ahead. May 2023 bring each and every one of you new, and gloriously sexy adventures!
(Which you can then tell me about so I can market them.)
See you all next year, and as the famous song goes, ‘we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne.’
Ah, the Scottish brogue. As clear today as it was in 1788.
Take care,
Strange
Have a wonderful 2023, Strange!

There’s a bit of Scotland in Maine. The assimilation was incomplete and they weren’t turned into discount Anglos. I like the Scots. Of the unenglish migrants to New England, minus the Welsh who assimilated so thoroughly they make the Borg blush, they seem closest to home. If that makes any sense. P.S. did you know Jones is NOT an English name? Because I didn’t. And neither does the United States census bureau.

Haha, I didn’t know that. For heaven’s sake don’t tell Bridget!
My family line is Scottish on one side and Irish on the other, so I’m pretty highly strung for an English woman.
Thanks for checking out my little corner of the net!
