these are very like Welsh forests but I suppose a forest is a forest

Despite Gillian, I’ve enjoyed Winterwatch. Thanks for the company, ladies

Yes, it's always interesting. Have caught up with Thursday and Friday.
Have been trying to figure out the difference between ch = ck sound and ch = Scottish ch sound. It's very subtle.
CK is produced when the tongue is pressed firmly against the back teeth and the tip is sort of dropped down from the roof of the mouth without actually having been touching it.
The Scottish ch has the tongue in a similar position but not as tightly against the teeth and the tongue is kept still and straight with the breath sort of forced over the tongue.
Don't know if that'll help any 'non-Scot' suddenly be able to produce our .ch. sound, but it is the best description I could come-up with.

Can you contain yourself for 4 months? It's usually the end of May.

Mr Y describes our ch sound as “clearing your throat”
You ought to hear him say Lochwinnoch or Auchtermuchty.

Thanks. Things went reasonably smoothly.

Way to go Moonies pigeons . I’ve got pigeons and doves in my garden and although I have a low bird table , as well as the hanging ones they still managed to hover and pinch stuff
