The other side

This is the other side of the tree trunk washed up during the day of very high winds earlier in the month. blip of 8th January shows the other side of it. There is a bit on the left hand side where water is gathering and that could be a bath for the birds or during summer days it could be where they gather for a drink.

Today is when Scots all over the world remember Robert Burns birthday in a celebration, often eating haggis, neeps and tatties. Well I do not like haggis, so will give it a miss, do not have a turnip in, so no neeps for me but could have mashed potatoes

Burns was a struggling farmer, Burns Poems chiefly in the Scottish Dialect made him an overnight success, acclaimed by Edinburgh literary circles as "Heaven-taught ploughman"

He was born in 1759 and died in 1796
