Porty People and Places

If it rains today it will rain for the next forty .... so say those who believe in St Swithun !

St. Swithun's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St. Swithun's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mair.'


Lets hope for the latter. This pub on the High Street is far from dry of course and seems to be literally open all hours!

Today is also the first day you can apply for .Scot web addresses in lieu of .UK I suspect the privilege will cost all those so inclined a pretty Groat or Unicorn or whatever name the the new Scottish currency in going to be called?
