Now that it is almost May, it's time to start thinking about fall. Yes, I mean fall, as in the season that follows summer... what do you mean it's too early? Go away with ya!

Seriously, I love the spring and summer and can't even begin to think past the end of the dog days of summer. Luckily we don't have to... the kind folks at the Celtic Colours International Festival are planning our fall activities for us!

Bho chionn beagan bhliadhnaichean chaidh làrach lìn a chuir air bonn, "Cainnt Mo Mhàthar". Rùnaich grunn de dhaoine gum biodh e feumail cainnt agus cuimhneachan nan seann daoine Ghàidealach ann an Ceap Breatainn a ghléidheadh do na linntean ri teachd. Nach ann ceart a bha iad!
