puts me in mind of a docu I saw... years ago, about some guy who sold his house and belongings to live in a van next to Loch Ness and "research it". Not sure what became of him, but I remember being well impressed with the effort and commitment, chwarae Teg.
I'm sure she will be fine. She really needs a burner in there though (speaking as someone who has lived in a bus). I bet she will quickly become a "celebrity" and the locals will look after her.

That's sad. She'd been slowly slipping away from life for some years in a nursing home outside Aberystwyth. A great mind gradually dimmed and now extinguished.

Saw it from window's in the house - best view was in my son's room. Woke Rowan up at about 7am (which is a bit earlier than usual) so he could watch his first lunar eclipse. He was very excited

Actually, I felt he made some valid points. There are other languages/dialects being overlooked in favour of Gaelic. I am trying to learn Scots Gaelic, but recognise it is an more recent import and that it was not spoken across the whole of (what is now) Scotland. Norse, too, was spoken in areas, and Scots is also being overlooked. I'm all for preserving the language, but not at the cost of other regional languages and culture.

Hunt for famous garden’s ‘magical’ tree ~ According to Welsh folklore, the baffling behaviour of the hawthorn tree drew curious visitors in their droves to Aberglasney Garden during the early 19th century.

But Sile---Norse and Scots are both (a bit) YOUNGER than Gaelic in Scotland, if one takes the settlement of Argyll to start around 400....? Though it is true that the linguistic picture has always been complicated, with Brythonic/'Cumbric' speakers, Pictish-speakers, English speakers, Norse speakers and Irish/Gaelic speakers all overlapping at various points, historically Gaelic is of extraordinary importance. God that article was depressing. Gone right off the Gaurniad lately.
