You find a pristine bit of wall. Excellent! You select an eye-catching turquoise can of spray paint and set to work. The lines of the bricks help to keep the letters straight, but all the same you're distracted a few times, looking round at the sound of footsteps on the path over at the edge of the park. You finish with a bit of a flourish - that final 'D' is heading upwards away from the line. You stand back and admire your work. Oh ****! Insert 'the'.

  7. Thank you Linda for commenting. Our blog is quickly gaining readership but people continue to be hesitant about posting comments.

    Immigrants from Scotland are some of the earliest settlers in North Carolina. We'll check in often to see what our ancestors across the ocean are up to!
