Wondrous Words Wednesday
My Words today are taken from the book The Walnut Tree.
1. Laird- A Scottish landowner, esp. of a large estate.
2. Mews- is primarily a British term formerly describing a row of stables.
3. Largesse- Generosity bestowing money or gifts upon others.
4. Lorries- Large motor vehicles designed to carry heavy loads, esp. with a flat platform.
5. Rutted- A sunken track or groove made by the passage of vehicles.
I knew mews from my trip to London last year. I really like the sound of laird - it sounds like you're saying lord with an accent.
ReplyDeleteAh, lorries. Gotta love British terminology!!
ReplyDeleteWe use a lot of British terms in Australia, so I knew all of these, sadly we wouldn't use lorry all that often. Laird does sound like lord with an accent.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion- lol, you're right.
ReplyDeleteKelly- Yes, I agree.
Louise- Yes, it does.
