I år har vi været på sommerferie Skotland. Vores mellemste datter, Anne, tager et semester af sin uddannelse i Aberdeen, og sådan en anledning skal man jo ikke lade gå fra sig. Først 5 dage i Aberdeen og omegn og derefter 5 dages rundtur med Anne til Inverness – langs Lock Ness og Lock Lomond til Glasgow. Skotland er så smuk. Fra en af vores venner, der lige var kommet hjem fra Skotland, havde vi hørt, at der var tre slags vejr: ”Det skal til at regne” – ”det regner” og ”det har lige regnet”. Det oplevede vi imidlertid ikke. De tre slags vejr vi mødte var: ”Det regner en lille smule” (i bjergene) – ”der er solskin” og ”der er rigtig meget solskin”.
This year we spent our holidays in Scotland. One of our daughters is taking a part of her education in Aberdeen, and that gives a good opportunity to go there.
First we spent 5 days in Aberdeen and the Anne took us to Inverness, Lock Ness and Lock Lomond and Glasgow. Scotland is just beautiful. From a friend, who just came back from Scotland we have heard there were three kinds of weather: It’s going to rain – It rains and – It has just rained. Never the less, the three kinds of weather we had were: it rains a little in the mountains, it’s sunshine, and it’s very much sunshine.
Jeg havde selvfølgelig pakket så der var plads til garn i rigelige mængder på hjemvejen. Det viste sig ikke at have været nødvendigt. Udbuddet af garn var mildest talt mangelfuldt.
Det var næsten umuligt at finde strikkegarn. (og væve garn for den sags skyld) For ikke at rejse helt tomhændet hjem fandt jeg lidt blandingsgarn (bomuld – angora –polyamid –viscose – cashmere) på udsalg. Jeg ved ikke lige hvad jeg skal bruge det til….
Of course I had left some room in my suitcase for bringing yarn home. It turned up to be bad planning. It was nearly impossible to find yarn for knitting (or weaving). I ended up buying some mixed yarn (cotton – angora –polyamid –viscose – cashmere), which were for sale. I don’t know what to use it for, but I did not want to go home without yarn at all.
Men de kan stadigvæk noget med deres tern derovre. Der kan hentes meget inspiration i farverne. Jeg købte en traditionel plaid i Antique Buchanan mønster.
But the Scotsmen still know something about colours and checks. I bought a paid in Antique Buchanan. There is lots of inspiration to get from the colours.

Ja, er det ikke snodig! At man må bestille garn fra Skottland via internett for å få tak i garn!? Men du klarte nå i hvert fall å få tak i mer enn meg ;)
Dere har gått samme samme tur som vi gikk i fjor ser det ut til, også vi var ganske heldig med været så det spørs om regnet ikke er overdrevet, ay?
