Paper roses

Some years this blossom seems to go crazy. It reminds me of the time my wife to be was made to dress in a coat covered with white paper flowers, as part of her right of passage as a bride. Her female colleagues took her round the pubs, offering a kiss from the bride  in return for money deposited in the chanty. (The chamber pot.) My girl gamely went along with this. It’s what they do in Kilmarnock. The theme song of the football club is Paper Roses.
