Happy Robby Burns Day! 

For all those who are Scottish, of Scottish descent, or just wish they were, it is a day to celebrate the unique quality and culture of the Scots. As a proud 1/4 Scot, I shall be out enjoying a dinner of haggis with tatties and neeps (as my great-grandmother apparently called them) and to the scorn and dismay of my neighbours, I may even fit in a little practice on my bagpipes! (I am getting better though – at least now it doesn't sound like I am disemboweling small animals :D )

So everyone get out and enjoy the night, and celebrate what it means to be Scottish!


PS: I normally do not use this space to promote businesses, but I will make an exception this one time in honour of Burns' Day. The Orr Family Butchers which operated in Brentwood Bay for years has opened on Quadra street now, and as always they have the best selection of high quality meats, homemade Scottish pastries, and imported products from Britain. If you have never been before because of distance, now is a good time to visit them!
