100 days – Day 2
I was supposed to be in Glasgow today to have lunch here at the Horse Shoe with a friend, but unfortunately had to cancel our meeting.
In folklore, horseshoes were considered lucky. To ward off goblins and evil spirits from their homes, people hung iron horseshoes over their front doors. They were thought to be frightening to these wee nasties because they looked like the Celtic moon god’s crescent.
Sadly, no luck for me today
