Name and Address of the Haggis

Paul and Ola addressing the haggis at Mark and Julia's Burns party. We had a lovely evening in a house full of children and delicious food. Duncan read "To a Mouse" which he's been practising. I'm not sure everyone understood all the words but the effect was wonderful and I was really proud of him. Paul skipped the later verses of 'Haggis which I like a lot, so I enjoyed growling them to the English girls and explaining their meaning - basically, the poor man's food is better than that fancy stuff. Which is really about the worth of the common man. Ocht, aye.

Tomorrow Paul, Mark and I are doing Edinburgh and back on our bikes - 60 miles or so, fingers crossed for the weather.
