Lang may your lum reek

Hi

This is for Lolly and anyone else that wonders what it means.

The traditional saying lang may your lum reek (literally, long may your chimney smoke) is a way of wishing someone long life and prosperity.

It is just a Scottish saying and I usually add it to the end of my e-mails.I live in England now in fact I have lived here longer than I lived in Scotland, but Scotland is still home.
I now live near Nottingham (Robin Hood country)

Boy, thanks for clearing that up, Marjorie! I was sure it was a blessing, of course, just wasn't sure what was being blessed :) Welcome aboard.

Love, Lolly
