So we'll prpobably sneak out alone to get that kidless-and-just-the-two-of-us feeling
Entirely the right thing to do, Patrick. Ann and I don't get out much together because of her limited mobility, so I'd expect she'll be key to whatever I do around Dumfries on Saturday before the Burns supper actually starts. She may want me to take her around the town centre shops, as there is much better shopping in Dumfries than we have here in rural Hawick.
