A lovely morning with a friend at the Fisherfolk festival on the shores of the Moray Firth.
I'd heard about this mermaid but learned more today of her story.
Easter Ross folklore; legend tells that once a fisherman stole a beautiful mermaid away to be his wife and hid her tail. Years later, after bearing his children, she found her tail and escaped back to sea, returning regularly to the shore to bring fish to her hungry children.
Three good things
1. The sun was shining for the occasion.
2. Musicians and singers, performing in an open sided tent, included my brother and sister in law. Also met one of the singers whose song I particularly enjoyed....he grew up in Tain, about 6 years ahead of me at school.
3. Finished sorting the laundry cupboard!!! And spent some time with Morag, a dear friend who was the best neighbour to Mum and Dad.
Thank you for your lovely comments.
Life has been rather busy and sorry I haven't been commenting! I do miss it!
