YOU'LL HAVE HAD YOUR BURNS NIGHT SUPPER THEN, HAMISH?

2014 Edit: And this http://laladyrae.blogspot.com/2014/01/slainte-mhath.html

The moon is full tomorrow night in beautiful sunny Leo.  And here tonight there was a wonderful, pearly moonbow.  What a gorgeous light to seduce and celebrate some poetry!




Tonight is Burns Night, the birthday celebration of the Scottish poet Robert Burns.  Haggis is paraded about and recited poetry to and then consumed.  (The Scots national dish is most demonstrative of the national character: "we're not cheap, we're frugal!")

Have a toast of some fine Scotch! Slainte!

The title of this post comes from: Hamish and Dougal

Robert Burns, Auld Lang Syne sung by Eddi Reader

Selkirk Grace

Great Chieftain o the Puddin Race!

  1. My latest post concerns the wee man too!
    Coincidence?
    I think not!

    ".........(The Scots national dish is most demonstrative of the national character: "we're not cheap, we're frugal!")......."

    You forgot to add: "We're not cheap, we're frugal, And filled with offal, which is awful"

    The city in the world where one is most likely to be 'glassed' in a bar, is Glasgow.

    "Glassing" To break a beer glass, empty or full(though a Scot would never do this with a full one) into the face/head of an opponent/friend/lover.
