The Old Washer Woman
The Winter Goddess is said to dance around the tops of hills, it is said that her home is on top of Ben Nevis. She goes by the name of the Cailleach, or Carlin in Scots, and there are many places that carry stories of her exploits.
Beneath the Paps of Jura, the cauldron of the Corryvreckan spins and swirls and it is here that the Cailleach washes her plaid. When her woollen cloak is clean and white she lays it across the land...
She has been washing her cloak this morning and I am watching her battle with the Sun King for control of the sky... I have a feeling she will win today.

Hello, my dear twin and Happy New Year!
I enjoyed this post of yours ;o)!
I set up a blog last year but have made it my new year’s commitment to show up on a more regular basis. I’ve linked your blog on mine. I hope that’s ok?
