Tuesday 25th. January is the birth date of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns.
It's also my birthday and I had the haggis in and the neep in and the tatties in. However, my daughter wants to take me out for a meal tomorrow night, so I've had my haggis tonight instead.---- Now, I live in Northern Ireland, not known for celebrating Burn's night; but my daughter can be devious and I know that she has also purchased a rather large haggis! So, is she secretly planning the first restaurant prepared haggis that Ballymena has ever seen? Have I to watch the slaughter of TWO beasties on consecutive nights?
She's planning something, as I have been instructed not to take the car, so I must presume that alcohol is involved in some way. I'll be thoroughly disappointed if I end up with my usual scampi & chips and a glass of wine! I can't wait to find out. Please excuse me for getting so over-excited!!
