Guessing Game

Here's a little picture puzzle for you. What links the above photo with the significance of today?

Any ideas?

Need a clue?

Ready to give up?

Well the answer is of course Burn's Night. A Scottish celebration of their national poet Robert Burns, on his official birthday.

Now the big question is why doesn't England celebrate the birthday of our greatest wordsmith; William Shakespeare?

The 26th of April is his day, and it would be great if we could do something in a similar style to celebrate his life and work.

Instead of haggis and potatoes, we could have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, and for afters, apple pie and custard. Or maybe the other classic English dish of fish and chips.

Look Where You're Going

Whilst waiting for the train at St Pancras Station to take be back home, I was admiring the fantastic architecture and two great sculptures that are there. The first is of the famous poet Sir John Betjeman. It's about life-size and shows him looking up into the sky.

So instead of showing you that view, I thought I would take a shot of what the statue is actually looking at, which in this case is the rather fabulous vaulted glass roof of the railway station.

If you want to know more about the former poet laureate, here's a LINK to a special website celebrating his life and work.

Today is meant to be the Headbanger Challenge, but being away, I've not had the opportunity of posting. So do come back tomorrow and see what I've come up with on Gail's theme of 'tattoo'.
