In August 2010, I was in Scotland for the day through work. For my lunch, I had called at the Co-op in Kelloholm and bought a sandwich and a bottle of water. I then drove to what we call the Back Road, and stopped next to the Birk Burn. The last time I walked up the Birk Burn I was 17 in 1965. It started to rain only lightly at first so I thought" its only a bi of rain and my skins waterproof" so I set off with my lunch in hand up the Birk Burn. Little did I know, and you would think at my age I should have known better, that the rain would get heaver. Well it did!
I took this photo while sheltering under a Hawthorn Tree. Eating my now soggy sandwiches. An thinking to my self GOD I love being out in the country, in the good old fresh air. At the end of my short walk I was socked to the skin. Then again I have always been a silly sod and I don't see why I should change now.
