A loch on the Isle of Skye

Mo sheanair

Bho ochd bliadhna a dh'aois bhiodh e fhèin 's na co-oghaichean a' cluich anns na bàtaichean air a' chladach. Gu tric air latha brèagha samhraidh bhiodh iad ag iasgach anns an loch.

Bha iad a' glacadh a h-uile seòrsa èisg - rionnach, adag, trosg, langa agus liugha.

Bha mo sheanair a' cuideachadh le obair a' chroit cuideachd. Bhiodh e a' cuideachadh le cur a' bhuntàta agus togail a' bhuntàta. Thuirt e gur e làithean sona a bha annta.
