    Burns Night Photo

    While the 10th Annual (and final) Nor Cal Rabble Burns Night Supper is still a few days away. My lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess and I attended our Scottish Country Dance class Burns Night party last night. Star gave the Address to a Haggis and I did the Immortal memory after a lot of fun dancing to great music.

    Here are our outfits as we were about to head out the door




    Cheers

    Star addresses the haggis!

    I thought the Rabble would enjoy these photos of Star addressing the haggis


    "The groaning trencher there ye fill,
    Your hurdies like a distant hill,
    Your pin wad help to mend a mill
    In time o need,
    While thro your pores the dews distil
    Like amber bead."




    "His knife see rustic Labour dight,
    An cut you up wi ready slight,
    Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
    Like onie ditch;
    And then, O what a glorious sight,
    Warm-reekin, rich!"




    "But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
    The trembling earth resounds his tread,
    Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
    He'll make it whissle;
    An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
    Like taps o thrissle."



    Cheers

    Wonderful photos, I must admit I am sorry I never made it to a NorCal Burns supper, it has been in my mind however I've never been able to make it down.

    Panache, you and your FHCAG are looking splendid as always. It looks like she was really enjoying her role as deliverer of the Address to a Haggis. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

    And alas, you just missed the last one last night. It was grand!
