Wishing my fellow Scots wherever in the world you may be.....
A VERY HAPPY BURNS NIGHT
Burns Suppers will be taking place all over the globe tonight in memory of our National Bard
Rabbie Burns
and the traditional Burns Supper consists of a meal of Haggis Neeps and Tatties washed down with a few wee drams of the water of life.....but starts off with the ceremonial piping in of the Haggis
followed by the Selkirk Grace and
"The Address To The Haggis"
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the pudding-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm :
Weel are ye wordy o'a grace
As lang's my arm.
and lots of Burns poems by local worthies before the feasting begins followed by lots of Scottish dancing and believe me.....nobody knows how to party like us Scots and the secret to drinking all those drams of whisky and remaining sober.....it's all in our energetic dances
The Eightsome Reel....
Strip The Willow
Dashing White Sergeant
The Gay Gordons
but I am not partying tonight.....just a quiet meal followed by perhaps one wee drama....(oops sorry that was meant to read...one wee dram......more than one and hey it would be a drama.
