Dear Lowlanders,<br>
<br>
Our <b style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Arend Victorie</b> has done it again.<br>
<br>
You may remember that he shared with us his ballad about "Cissy the Fog Witch"
whose spirit still haunts Arend's neck of the woods. (I added my singable
English version to it.)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie.php</a><br>
English: <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie-en.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie-en.php</a><br>
<br>
(with a link to a video performance)<br>
<br>
Now Arend had a Cillie (Cissy) sighting and a photo to prove it!<br>
<br>
I have added a link to his report to the pages mentioned above. Here are the
direct URLs:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie_apparation.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie_apparation.php</a><br>
English: <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie_apparation-en.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/victorie_cillie_apparation-en.php</a><br>
<br>
Arend recommends the story for warming your mid-winter nights.<br>
<br>
And talking about our Gallery (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/</a>), I am happy to
report that it has been growing. At the moment I can't even keep up with the
material to be posted there (but that does not mean that you should stop
submitting your works).<br>
<br>
Because of the literary quality of their articles in our Travel presentation <br>
(<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/">http://lowlands-l.net/travels/</a>) I posted the works of <b style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Andrys Onsman</b> and
<b style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Tom Mc Rae</b> in the Gallery as well. I invite you to read them again in
this light:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/onsman.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/onsman.php</a><br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/mcrae.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/mcrae.php</a><br>
<br>
Consequently, Tom submitted other works of his and more are to follow. Some of
them can be classified as essays or articles, and they are written in English.
Others are tales, actually well-known tales retold and recast in Edinburgh
Scots (which most of you will read fairly easily). I'm sure you'll get a
special kick out of those. (I sure did.) More of this is in the offing. So
please keep watching Tom's and other folks' Gallery spaces.<br><br>There seems to be a lot of talent among us. Who knows how many lights are still being hidden under bushels?<br>
<br>
If you wish to have your own Gallery space or to add works to yours, please
submit them to me at my private address.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards!<br>
<br>
Reinhard/Ron</span></p>
