Funny. This is bringing back memories; I LOVE a Scottish accent! I'm very impressionable in my speech and was modifying my accent just from visiting for a week. :) You're going to have such an adventure! Maybe you can find a moms group at a local pub. :)
wow, that's quite a list. and here I thought you wouldn't have to learn another language! =)
Also - I'll have to make sure they update the definition for stovies - because it's more like ground (minced) beef mixed with mashed potatoes - not really very stew-y. It's such a yummy comfort food on cold days :)
Also, the eggs aren't refrigerated. That'll save you at least one little headache on your first grocery shop.
