burns night



Greetings

we hope you have had a great burns night. This is how we celebrated ours south of the border.

First find your pub with a burns minded landlord (http://www.thestarinn-eccleshall.co.uk/) and a bonny tartan clad landlady.
second - loosen up with some early drinks
step three - let the ceremony begin.
step forward master of ceremonies - Phil, who hits us with Rabbies life story
now for some tag poetry readings from three locals fully preped with haggis, tatties and neeps.Rabbies words of wisdom are all about the downfall of man at the hands of wicked women, a message mostly lost on the well lubricated guests.
step forward again Phil to thank the readers and toast the life and times of Robert Burns.

Even this far South of the border we are never far from Islay as evidenced by the fine collection of Simon & Elaine's Islay malts to supply late revellers with some fine dram(s).
