I never thought of that like that. I have a friend in England and I used a word that isn't bad here and she had to tell me it was a bad word where she lives. It is so funny when that happens.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-89089156835416000032011-06-14T14:50:59.117+01:002011-06-14T14:50:59.117+01:00Hi Anne, I just found your blog by accident while ...Hi Anne, I just found your blog by accident while looking for photos and had to register to tell you that I love it! I'm a Niseach, although I live in town now, and was over your way at the weekend. In fact, I drove past your house on my way to take photos of Traigh Shanndaidh at sunset! I noticed your veggie cages and was very impressed. No room round my house for such things unfortunately! I'm quite pleased with myself for managing to plant some flowers in tubs for the summer. Anyway, will be visiting your blog regularly now to have a nosy at your photos. Photography is a hobby of mine and I love seeing what others have been snapping. <br /><br />Oh by the way, you probably won't know me but my folks are across the road from your sister-in-law in Cross. Funny how I found another Niseach randomly on here!Islanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914766518956991069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-17780937262980918402011-06-14T06:41:57.698+01:002011-06-14T06:41:57.698+01:00I read your post out loud to my friends as we were...I read your post out loud to my friends as we were getting ready this morning, and you kept us laughing all the way through! :)<br />And plot...I never thought of it as relating to a cemetery, so keep using it - it's a wonderful word! :DSarahJaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15465954030773502482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-32487347584883855052011-06-14T03:40:28.330+01:002011-06-14T03:40:28.330+01:00After the weeding, it really does look good!

If I had to work half as hard as y'all to garden, I'm not sure I would do it! Are you able to leave up those fences/cages/nets/etc. for next year, or do they all have to come down at the end of the season?<br /><br />Reading your blog--besides making me green with envy at your proximity to the sea--makes me appreciate the ease of gardening here in Virginia! ;-)Davene Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036284894596672798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-82267469041922968982011-06-13T21:29:38.535+01:002011-06-13T21:29:38.535+01:00Mercy you have been busy!

Not that you were around then (!!!) but is that in the background of the church you are in communion with? I had studied it in the past, and completely forgot until now that it occurred right there on Lewis!Deb Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09805188576444827531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-24346019260580959892011-06-13T16:25:25.738+01:002011-06-13T16:25:25.738+01:00I agree w/ Keri, it wouldn't be the same if yo...I agree w/ Keri, it wouldn't be the same if you changed your wording, plot sounds right coming from you.<br /><br />You've been working hard, while we've been galavanting around.

When I hear (or read) the word Plot in reference to a garden I do not ever think of a cemetery. Context means everything. <br /><br />Your Garden Plots look lovely.

'Must be very satisfying to the Gardener (yourself). <br /><br />I'm new to your blog, and though I haven't read ALL your posts, I have gone back and read most of them. It is fascinating to read about someone half-way round the world with some of the same interests I have. It has raised a zillion questions. I'll try to limit myself to one or two per comment. ha-ha. <br /><br />I've seen a barn....do you have chickens? Living so close to the sea, I would expect to see more fish and seafood in your diet. ???Deb Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09805188576444827531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-5939916996659796152011-06-13T10:55:51.898+01:002011-06-13T10:55:51.898+01:00Don't worry about your use of the word plot. ...Don't worry about your use of the word plot. I never considered it a cemetery nor did a cemetery ever cross my mind. I think it all depends on where you were raised and how the word was used growing up. I think of the word to mean an area of land set aside for a specific purpose.<br /><br />That being said, your garden plot looks lovely. You shall reap your rewards this fall.Rachel E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06029197864979891111noreply@blogger.com
