And a week of 'socialising'!
I went out three nights in a row, first one on me own (though one is never alone in my local!), second night with Mrs. Map (we laughed so much, people watching is good free entertainment!) and last night with me pal (another night of laughter!)
So today meself & Herself took off to the forest for a 'head clearing' walk. (I hasten to add that mine was the only head needing clearing!)
And I remembered the camera!
Leprechauns are usually dressed in a studded leather apron and a red or green wide-brimmed hat. They carry two leather pouches. In one there is a silver shilling, a magical coin that returns to the purse each time it is paid out. In the other is a gold coin which they will use to try and bribe their way out of difficult situations. This coin usually turns to leaves or ashes once the leprechaun has parted with it.
ReplyDeleteToday however, it was a Pobel Vean himself dressed in Levis, a baseball cap and Doc Martin boots that smelled strongly of Special Brew and Clan Dew pipe tobaccy, as he made his merry way through the forest.
Oh the shame of it all so...
Chef; How dare you! My Doc's have never smelled of Special Brew! :¬)
ReplyDeleteThe amount of alky-hol that you spill, they most certainly do. Dinnae get me started on the stains about your troosers!
ReplyDeletevery beautiful country, since my ancestors came from theres somewhere I'd love to check it out one day
ReplyDeleteMrs. Map looks happy and right at home in this beautiful scene!
ReplyDeleteAnd leave it to you to take a photo I love with a pink sky and trees...better than pink elephants for those of you with the headache. ;)
You have skills, my friend. I demand more photos in the coming year. I insist! Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Mr Maps!

Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours all the very best over the festive season :)
They are lovely shots. It sounds much better when you say it but have a very Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteChef; Aye, if I drank as much as I spilled I'd have been under the sod long back! Though the auld Black-Watch trews are most forgiving! :)
ReplyDeleteTempo; I'd be glad to show you around the place. Do you know what part of the country your people came from? :¬)
ReplyDeletehope; That forest is one of Mrs. Maps favourite places (and one of mine too.)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the photie! :¬)
