Thanks for that. This was filmed in the 1980's and Rhoda passed away in 1994. Sore she is missed. We now have a number of other poets but most write in Scots. |

Oops, so sorry for the late reply  . I dislike both of them!. Shetland Scots is horrible and Shetlandforwirds don't want a standard form of spelling and think it's ok to spell norse words with english letters. They are just very, very strange....... They remind me of someone who is looking at a painitng that my 4 year old nephew could paint and are thinking that it is "speaking to them"
