Coin Trees

We went to Tarn Hows again this weekend.  Spookily, although it feels much sooner, it was this time last year when we last went.  Me and Darwin hammered a coin into a tree trunk when we were there, much to the amusement of a young couple from Singapore.  It seems to be the fashionable thing nowadays and I don’t know why.  It didn’t happen when I were a lad otherwise we’d be down at the woods with pliers removing all the coins.  I told the couple it brought good luck.  They knew that was bullshit.
