Going to the wood to see the trees

Saints Day in Perth

First, while all is quiet (although something is stirring outside), I can enjoy a large latte artistically signed off by a lass who insisted it was an accident (possibly a miracle?) because she's "useless at that"... and I can take time out to see if I have made it into the "Rich List" yet...


Not quite, apparently. Maybe next year. Then... a crowd appears to be gathering...

and gathering... (bless the sweet little lass and long may she remain saintly).

Oh yes... St. Johnstone Football Club won the Scottish Cup yesterday, apparently the oldest national sporting trophy in the world (possibly the universe) and the first major trophy won by Perth's "Saints" in their long and arduous 130 years of trying. An old name for Perth is "Saint John's Town", hence the name of the club.


Quite a scene, but a bus full of Saints surely merits it.



Well done lads, but remember, Time and the Tay flow on regardless in the background...

until the next miracle arrives

Walking Past

Close to some poor people's last view from the wood where they burned (supposed) witches and wizards, the Roman earthworks and a view to the hill of our bronze-age fort, but all now just a place where I walk

Plant Puzzle 4

Another shot from my untamed riverbank. The large leaves in the background do not belong to the flowers shown here, but belong to different puzzle to be set once their flowers appear, but in the meantime what are these flowers? As usual, I have no idea.
