Since I am in a foul mood I can't concentrate on reading anything meaningful have been messing about on Google. I have discovered, not to my surprise, that I can't read most pages on "bhuidhe" (yellow) as they are in Gaelic and all I can say in Gaelic is "cheers" and "how are you? - very well thanks". However I have discovered that:
The Irish goddess Inghean Bhuidhe ("yellow-haired girl" or "bloom of youth") is the second of three sisters representing the harvest cycle. She represents the coming of summer and is the nurturing mother goddess of the ripening of the crops. Just like her sisters, she became a Christian saint, a well was dedicated to her and she had her own feast day on May 6th, representing the first day of summer. Her name is also given as Iníon Buí. Her older sister is Lasair, her younger sister Latiaran.
Well, well. I haven't got yellow hair; the bloom of the youth - no comment; I'm not the second of three sisters but the first. But I've often worked at harvest and those are the colours that stay with me most: green, gold, blue; and the smell of newly cut straw, the feeling of stubble when you turn somersaults in the harvest field and it prickles all down your back, the sensation of your stomach flying through your throat into your mouth as you jump off piles of strawbales as high as a house...
A saint? Ha ha ha... Look out -
In 1999 three people lost their lives traversing the notorious Corrag Bhuidhe pinnacles on An Teallach. Anyone attempting this route should take great care.
As the terrain and scale of the mountain country in the Dundonnell area is so difficult, both skilled and novice mountaineers and walkers have needed help from the team. The team has also been called to search for lost children, gamekeepers and people missing from nursing homes.
