– sometimes go very well indeed
We had our annual Burns Supper on Friday evening, celebrating the life and works of Scotland’s national poet Robert (Rabbie) Burns. Everyone agreed it was one of the best we’d held over the 10 years we’ve been doing it. Well attended, excellent speakers, wonderful food and smoothly flowing throughout.
Randy Stanley – our resident piper
Alex Long delivered ‘The Immortal Memory’
Sandy Huguenin proposed the Toast to the Lassies and Chef Kelley Pearson responded.
Wendy and I sang some Burns songs
Chef Kelley excelled with Cock-a-Leekie soup, haggis, tatties n’ neeps and shepherds pie
The ‘piece de resistance’ – Scottish cheesecake on a shortbread base topped with cranachan and a raspberry.
Here’s to next year – y’all come – – –
