Thanks Di
I will investigate
[from a dreick damp grey soggy Scotland - and this is summer ;( ]
Dreick....Now that's a word I've not seen before and although I did a
quick Google I can't find the meaning, so what does it mean?
should have an 'h' on the end -- ;)
clearly been talking to too many folks from south of the border recently <g>
ScotSpeak site describes it very well :
A driech day is when thick grey clouds are hanging heavily in the sky, and although there may be an all-permeating drizzle, there isn't any actual rain to speak of. It's pronounced 'dreech' (with the 'ch' at the end as in 'loch').
It describes what we have to live with rather too well. At least the rain is warmer this time of year :(
We call it moor-grime.
