Back in Gullane, and as the wonderful Kim MacArthur is fond of saying, Happy to be Here. However . . .

Funny the things that tick one off: I was out in the car this morning en  route for Haddington. Approaching Ballencrieff I saw a permanent road sign warning me that there was mud on the road. There always is, when it’s remotely wet, as it always is, so I’m wondering why East Lothian Council, as well as installing their helpful sign, don’t take action to ensure that the farmer who makes a mess of the public highway, accepts responsibility for hosing the bloody mud off!
