SCOTLAND......WHERE RU ALL??????????

[starfairy]

HELLO, looking to talk to any Scots MNrs out there.

Yeah dh is from these parts.USed to live in Milan but his family is in this wee town so moved to be nearer to them. Have one dd,Sophia,of 2 amd a half.No, moved into office jobs when Italian improved, now a PA, and much prefer it.Pays better too! Where you from originally ?

I'm from Isle of Lewis, have been here for almost 8 years.

Was it easy to pick up the lingo?

Anything bout Scotland u miss?

I miss living beside the sea & the beaches to walk along.

I miss the different shades of green fields and the fluffy sheep.Really!! And Marks&Spencers and Boots - just nothing like it here. I met a nanny here from Lewis, years back.She is now is Glasgow with a DH and 2DDs.Lost touch sadly but she was really nice.
I did Higher Italian at school then did a local council course here when I first came over then just picked it up hanging out with Italians.You ever been over here??
Do i understand right that you are in Belfast??

32 miles from Belfast place called Portadown.

Never been to Italy but would love to go. Dont know why but I imagine it to be romantic, dunno why .

Some places can be but not the greater Milan area!More like Glasgow than the typical image of an Italian town.Suppose who you're with makes a difference.George Clooney's mega house is not that far - would be romantic with him anywhere!
How come you in Portadown?Name rings a bell.

Xp from village just outside Portadown. When we parted I decided.

Would love to go to Canada.

Do you come back to Scotland much & what does Dd think of it??

Always back at Xmas and try to get over one other time at least.My family is large so there usually someone coming over to visit us so that is great.DD loves it as gets V.spoiled and lots of attention.Here its just me,DH and the PILs - quite boring.
What kind of work do you do?

Restaurant Supervisor.

What's the weather like in Italy?

Hello to waswondering

It's wet, foggy and freezing.Not nice.Give me the Scottish cold anyday.
Hi Was Wondering.What school were you at?

DHS??? My sisters and 2 of their dc went there.I was the black sheep and went to the Johnnies!Wot you up to in Aberdeen ?
Starfairy - is it snowy there now?

was too naive at the time to know it was better in the long run.Wanted to be with old mates from primary (sad, I know).Don't think my mum has ever forgiven for refusing to go! Sister are all older so last one left in '86 maybe?Nephew in 2005, niece last year - now both at Aberdeen Uni! You got dc?

No no snow yet, but they say there is bout 6 inches of the stuff on the way.

How many Dc do you have Waswondering?

What's Aberdeen like, is it good for shopping?

Haven't been to Aberdeen for years!BIL is from those parts.Inverurie? Is it snowing there?Seems wierd that there is snow in London but in Scotland no.

I know its weird init, you'd expect snow up in Scotland beign higher up an all that.

I'm looking forward to the snow wanna go out & have snowball fights a& build snowmen with Dd.

Me too! but not likely to happen here .
DD loved snow last year in Dundee.My mum pulled her about in a milk crate cos we didn't have a sledge!Ds was too wee to remember when it snowed last here.

Would you get snow in Italy at all?

Got loads last year at this time.Little bit the year before so it does happen.Never stays for long though.
I'm off now.hope to chat tomorrow!
Night!

Goodnight talk to you tomorrow

Hi, I live in Aberdeenshire, though I'm not Scottish. And actually, I'm not currently living in Scotland, either! (So why am I on this thread? ) My ds2 and dd1 are at uni in Aberdeen, Ery71. Ds is doing a PhD and dd is in second year. What about your niece and nephew?
