Great Bernera: gardening is in the jeans Two pairs of jeans have been hung up in jocular fashion in wellington boots outside a house in Breaclete, as a place to grow some plants. The occupant of the house pulled up as I was taking the photo and invited me also to press the button on the lobster in the basket - but it turned out that the battery had gone. Apparently, the lobster would have done a little wave with its claws.
