Saw my first Scottish Thistle on the hike last night. They are sharp babies. I was wondering why Scottland had the image of the thisle all over the place. Now I know.
Then I made an amazing discovery as I was thinking about the Celtic NPR music show the Thistle and Shamrock. Thistle stands for Scotland! Shamrock stands for Ireland! DUH????
I never thought about this before. There obviously are good reasons I have been sent to the UK.

ReplyDeleteI'm all caught up.
I expect you'll get to be a member of the Clean-Plate-Haggis Club.
We'll do shots when you get back!!
