To the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns...

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

--My Heart's In The Highlands

I met my wife thanks to Robbie. I went to the library to find a book of
Burns work. I like the friendly librarian so much that I checked her out
permanently. :mrgreen:

Here's ta' Rab.

I'm still disappointed that I did not find a Burns Supper near here. I'll organize one for next year, myself.

Burns Suppers for the home are very easy to organise. Let me know if I can be of any help! ;)

We used to have a choice of Burns suppers to attend locally and often went to two or three during the week of Burns night. Unfortunately there was a bad outbreak of E-Coli in this area a few years back and the victims had all attended a Burns Supper in a local village hall. The source was traced by environmental health officers to sheep dung in the stream which supplied the water to the hall. Because of all the health and safety legislation and claim culture nowadays nobody seems willing to organise any Burns suppers since then.

Cheers to all!

Perhaps the village can get the water authorities to test the water at the hall before an event, & then everyone can share in a happy Burns Night.
