Paradise Found

On Saturday Night we celebrated Burns Supper with some friends old and new. It gave me a chance to crack open a bottle of Glenury Royal – one of my favourites from the Rare Malts collection. I also had to perform the Ode to a Haggis – not something my Sassenach accent is well suited to. It’s at times like this I wish I had an accent like Billy Conolly, or perhaps Sean Connery – possibly the most famous Scots accent of modern times. Still, I am glad to say that my recital did not mar the evening too much, and leter we were treated to a glorious albeit abridged reading of the Tam O’Shanter from a man with a perfect accent for the occasion.
