Since 1964 approximately 5.3 cm of peat has formed, about the height of this birthday cake I found on my table today.

I saw these two boggle-eyed creatures staring at me beside the boggy pool on Bankhead Moss.

 

Swollen curve of the raised bog dotted with bog cotton and encircled with silver birch.

Homage to Billy Connolly on being knighted.

Recalling his music teacher:

“She was a psychopath. Totally addicted to ‘Mhairi’s Wedding.’ Every music lesson we got “Mhairi’s Wedding’…

…Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That’s the toast for Mhàiri.

Chorus:

Step me gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mhàiri’s wedding.”
