  1. Quote of the day, 12 January: St. Teresa

    If suffering for love’s sake
    Can give such wondrous delight?
    What joy will gazing on You be?

    What will it be beholding
    The Majesty eternal
    Since Andrew seeing the cross
    Was so filled with rejoicing?
    Oh, how can it be wanting,
    Delight in suffering’s midst!
    What joy will gazing on You be?

    Love, when it has grown,
    Save in laboring cannot live,
    Nor the hearty without fighting
    Because of love for his Beloved.
    By this love is victory won
    And the desire to be right in all.
    What joy will gazing on You be?

    Since all people dread dying,
    Why is it sweetness to You?
    Oh, I will live
    In a loftier way.
    By Your death, O my God,
    The weakest knows strength.
    What joy will gazing on You be?

    O cross, wood so precious
    Majestic and grand!
    Once greatly despised,
    Now espoused to God,
    With rejoicing I come,
    Unworthy to love you.
    What joy will gazing on You be?

  3. Happy St Andrew's Day to all. This statue of him in his little-known dragon slayer mode is in the war memorial garden next to Kelso Abbey. It is actually on the male dragon current of the Holy Axis, which runs between the Farne Islands and Iona. #StAndrew #Dragons #HolyAxis #Dowsing

  7. 30th of November, St Andrew's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Not only that but the birthday of my sister and late mother. Raising a glass to all three.

    My mother was born and brought up just off Pleasance, in the shadow of Salisbury Crags close to where the Holyrood Distillery is now situated. So this would seem appropriate!

    Oloroso Butts, PX Hogsheads, Bourbon Barrels, Rum Barriques

    Sweet fruity notes along with darker dried fruit, vanilla and chocolate. Lovely, soft creamy smooth mouthful with all sorts of flavours bouncing around my tongue - spicy cinnamon, orange peel, rum and raisin. Warm fruity, baking spice finish and lingering toffee. Complex for what is a very young whisky. I think it's delicious.

    Slàinte Mhaith.
