Heather Brown
/Heather For Luck
There's a saying that if you wear a sprig of heather it will bring you luck. If you wear a sprig of Scottish heather, it's said you'll never have the misfortune to fall into Loch Ness and be eaten by the monster.
Now then. HEATHER BROWN was on holiday in Scotland and she and her boyfriend were out in a boat. He was wearing a sprig of local heather. He fell in. Heather rescued him. "There you are," he panted wetly, "what luck, it didn't eat me."
"It wasn't there," said Heather, "this is Loch Lomond."
"Never mind," he said, "you're my best bit of real luck, if you hadn't been around you couldn't have pulled me out."
Heather giggled.
