You Can Cast Your Cloot, or Not!

It was calm first thing, with rain.  Dry the rest of the day, cloudy and wind picking up.  Cold gales from the north tonight.

Weekend off, and up early to start the day.  I got on with chores first thing, and then managed a walk in the rain.  I met mam and dad at Madeline's before lunch, and a social chat in the drive.  Scanned some of mam's photos this afternoon, before heading to town and a walk around Lerwick.  More walkies this evening, and now feet up by the fire. 

After learning that the old saying, 'Never cast a clot, until May is oot', was about the Hawthorn tree, well my hawthorn has started to come into full bloom.  It started flowering about a week ago, and now has a beautiful aroma as you come down the garden path.  With this cold wind, I'm not sure if in ready to cast any cloots just yet!  Taken at home, Hawthorn Cottage, Houl Road, Scalloway.
