Camping in this weather?

Interesting little 'Munchener Kalender 1914' picked up on holiday in Austria. If you look closely at August the 3rd - in pencil to the right is the word 'krieg' indicating the beginning of the First World War. The print and design are beautiful.



























Perhaps a little chilly right now for sitting round a fire whilst singing jolly songs - but what a great song 'Green grow the rushes -ho' is.

EPIGRAM ON ROUGH ROADS by Robbie Burns
"I'm now arrived - thanks to the gods!
Thro' pathways rough and muddy,
A certain sign that makin' roads
Is no this people's study:
Altho' Im not wi'Scripture cram'd,
I'm sure the Bible says
That heedless sinners shall be dam'd,
Unless they mend their ways."

Happy New Year / Joyeux Noel!!
