' Robinson-Crusoeing '
Elizabeth Macpherson
Elizabeth Macpherson , by now quite well known to listeners for her talks on Highland life, comes again to the microphone today with another broadcast from her home in the hills.
To live in a Scottish glen far from the nearest town, often snow-bound for weeks on end, and with little social life, may not be some people's idea of a pleasant existence, but Mrs. Macpherson "finds delight in every mood of the mountains, and in the sheep, deer, and wild birds which are her neighbours among them. She is interested in the most trivial of everyday happenings and finds humour in the dullest of domestic disasters. She will talk today about the things she loves best in her Highland home, the scent of bracken, mist blowing down the screes, chaff with a passing stranger, laundering in the burn, peat-cutting, sun on the summits, and the white wastes of snow, that make of home a comfort and security indeed.
