Autumn moss.

“Plenty herring, plenty meal/Plenty peat to fill her creel/ Plenty bonny bairns as weel/ That’s the toast for Mairi.” Lewis Bridal Song

(Following my feature in ‘The Sunday Post’) Homage to Oor Wullie, bucket of peat.

Today I had a lovely chat with Katherine who bought a copy of my book #IntoThePeatlands published by @BirlinnBooks She is studying Peruvian peatlands. On Flanders Moss earlier in the year I met these alpacas out for a walk.
