The thought of electric lights coupled with wet tree did nothing for my feeling of personal safety, I did briefly consider, in my impatience to get to the job, giving it a quick blow dry with the hair dryer but a modicum of common sense prevailed and I abandoned the task until today. That's the theory at any rate, assuming I can get it dry at some point!
On an entirely different subject I did discover last night some photographs I took on my visit to the hairdresser last week.
Berwick upon Tweed is famed for it's three bridges all standing side by side, an old road bridge, a new road bridge and the Royal Border rail bridge which once it has spanned the river Tweed carries on for maybe another quarter mile over the town and carries the East coast main line. Had I been a little more adventurous I might have waded into the Tweed estuary at the point it meets the North sea to picture all three in a row, as it was I wasn't and I didn't!
For now you will have to imagine.....one day I will attempt to find a spot to take all three that won't necessitate calling out the lifeboat!
To take the first of these pics I was stood with my back to the second pic.... the railbridge.
