BUNROY?

14 February

Life is full of puzzles (some more fun than others)...

If you named your home (or, at any rate, a house) Bunroy, might you not fail to envisage how wearing it would be to explain both why it needed a name as well as a house number, as well as what it means - or would it be in the spirit of blagging (so like blogging), of making up some blarney to meet each new enquiry*?

Yes, it takes its name from the Scottish camp-site** where:

* I was born
* All our children were conceived
* My wife and I [
met / first slept together]


Well, my pet name for my wife is Bunny, and I grew up in Rosyton, so it seemed the obvious choice!


Really?! Is there a sign outside saying that? Well, in all the time that I've lived here, I've never noticed it - are you sure?


Ah, well - it spells something backwards, you see: Yor nub, i.e. Your nub? What bloody point are you making?


Hours of fun for all the family at the price of a house-sign!



End-notes

* As some like to say, glass half full, rather than half empty...

** 13 miles from Fort William, and not far from the River Spean.
