Summoning the sun!

I never cease to be amazed by people! Today I was up at the crack of dawn to take a lovely Italian lady on a sunrise tour round the stones of Kilmartin.  When I arrived at the hotel in semi darkness all the lights in the place were on. On getting said lady she told me she couldn't get out the hotel as the doors were locked (they were indeed as I couldn't get in either!) so she accidentally set off the fire alarm. Some pimply yoof arrived and had to phone the owner to get the code to reset the alarm.Anyway off we set still in darknees to find the elusive sunrise (all he while I was saying a wee prayer to the sun God to appear) This was a well organised lady who had a very detailed map with all the stone alignments on and she was clutching her wee silver compass to get the exact position.  After some faffing and me losing the will to live, she finally located the stone she thought the sun would "kiss" when rising. To help her in her sun quest as well as a compass she also had a small bell which she began tinkling!! At this point my eldest daughter phoned me and I found myself in the surreal situation  caught in between some ancient Druidic summoning while on my mobile (God how times have changed) what would the ancients have thought! I told Davina (in Gaelic) I was in the middle of a field with an Italian lady who was ringing a bell  summoning up the sun in Italian and me chatting the language of the ancients to my daughter.. Her reply was "why am I not surprised mam" Then several things happened . First the bloody sun appeared exactly where she predicted , then she dug in her pocket and brought out a little gold coloured T-light  which she said she was leaving as an offering. Secondly I dug in MY pocket to dig out a sweetie as I was dying of hunger and lo and behold was it no one of the sweeties from the camera club doo from last night and what was it but a wee gold disc coin sweet. Well this woman went into raptures that I had thoughtfully provided a sun disc as my offering! I thought at that moment of the phrase the sun only shines on the righteous  but in fact the entire thing was coincidence .
Any way she had a wonderful morning and I left her a happy lady. I hope tomorrow afternoon for the sunset will be equally fortuitous . If you look you will see her holding the little bell and looking very happy. The things I do to earn a crust!
