    Hogmanay

    I took Scotch eggs to the party. That's me bride in the background.



    We had dulcimer music and a guy who played banjo.



    I read a Burns poem ("To a Mouse").



    We had a piper, of course.



    There was also harp music from our hostess and a demonstration of Scottish Country dancing. More photos later.

    "To a mouse" has been my favorite Burns poem since I was a boy. Excellent choice.
