Hey all
Shaggy, the Tattie Holidays are so named because back in the old days the kids would go picking potatoes, and in this farming community it was especially important because sometimes the kids were the ones helping to keep farms going. Nowadays it's all done by machinery and the kids are getting a buckshee holiday. I used to go tattie picking on my Grandad's farm when I was young, there was loads of us too. Wouldn't earn a lot but when you are 10 it is a fortune
Today has been relatively busy even for a last day. Got home and slept for two hours, was shattered! Brian cooked a lovely dinner. Now I am chilling in bed, supposedly studying but can't get my head round it, so chilling instead.
TW glad Keishi seems to be recovering, hope it continues and none of the others catch it.
