Coast and Country: The Gansey

I stumbled upon this podcast called Coast and Country from BBC 4 - given my penchant for anything UK related these days, I thought it was a great one to subscribe to, and something a wee bit different for this city girl.

Their latest episode talked from December about the gansey from Scotland as a means of "safeguarding Scotland's fishing heritage." There was a lovely recorded conversation about knitting the gansey (no pattern!) and what it meant for the people of the area.

It just makes me wish I could visit Scotland even sooner. Or even Wales - now that the Wales Walking Path (with cycling!) will be completed soon.
