Return to the Voice - spektakl Teatru Pieśni Kozła, szkocka muzyka!
Jestem w szoku. Są takie świry jak ja, tylko oni mają większą odwagę uczestniczyć i wysilić się, by tam pojechać i to wszystko zebrać. Podobno za parę godzin premiera projektu, ponoć ma śpiewać Ania Maria Jopek (między innymi). Uwielbiam ją za to, że bierze udział w takim projekcie, uwielbiam ją też za to, że wzięła udział w płycie Carrantuohill.
Ten spektakl na pewno będzie niesamowity. Widzę, że Polacy i Szkoci lubią się i jest jakaś wzajemna fascynacja, może dlatego kupiłam bilet do Glasgow na 2 listopada? Ciągnie tam... Pal licho już klimat, to ludzie tworzą klimat. Kiedy oglądam takie dokumenty jak ten, wiem dlaczego mi na tym punkcie odbiło. Jako muzykowi, jako etnografowi, jako człowiekowi, który kocha odmienność. Jakże ja bym chciała obejrzeć i posłuchać tego na żywo...

Happies song I've ever heard:)
I
just down from the Isle of Skye
I'm no very big but I'm awful shy
All the lassies shout as I walk by,
"Donald, Where's Your Trousers?"
Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low
Through the streets in my kilt I go
All the lassies cry, "Hello!
Donald, where's your trousers?"
I went to a fancy ball
It was slippery in the hall
I was afeared that I may fall
Because I nay had on trousers
I went down to London town
To have a little fun in the underground
All the Ladies turned their heads around, saying,
"Donald, where's your trousers?"
The lassies love me every one
But they must catch me if they can
You canna put the breeks on a highland man, saying,
"Donald, where's your trousers?"

Cmentarze w Edynburgu/ Cemeteries in Edinburgh
Podczas swojego zwiedzania Edynburga odwiedziłam dwa przepiękne miejsca - uwielbiam cmentarze, dlatego przedstawiam Greyfriar's Kirkyard oraz Canongate Kirk.
------------------------------
Ladies and gentlemen - I would like to show you some photos from the most beautiful cemeteries I've ever seen: Greyfriar's Kirkyard and Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh. I love cemeteries - I don't know why, but sorry - I like them. They are full of history, full of untold stories, happy and unhappy previous - lives and full of art.

GREYFRIAR'S KIRKYARD
Address: Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh EH1 2QQ, Wielka Brytania
To chyba najstraszniejsze miejsce jakie widziałam / It's the scariest place I've ever visited.

| Mauzoleum McKenzi'ego - najsławniejszego ducha cmentarza / The McKenzie's Mausoleum - McKenzie is the most famous ghost (poltergeist) here. Creepy! |

| McKenzie's Mausoleum once more |
CANONGATE KIRKYARD
Tutaj już nie jest tak strasznie, jest wręcz pięknie i spokojnie. Miejsce idealne na chwilę zadumy. W tle niesamowity Arthur's Seat.
This cemetery is not as scary as Greyfriar's Kirkyard. Even more - it's peaceful and perfect to go for a walk and just be melancholic for a while. Lots of nice celtic crosses!
