I am sure alot of you know (I bang on about it enough) that I am proud to be Scottish, and live in the village that Robert Burns spent part of his life- Mauchline.

This Fri night is Burns Night, were we Scots and people around the world celebrate the birth of the Baird with a nicht of Haggis, Whiskey, poems and celebrate a great life. How do you celebrate it if you do ?

Haggis, Neeps and Tatties are always a firm favourite in this house.

This Burns night will be at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the Mauchline Burns Club. - Wifes are even invited and this will be a first for Maryann... - So should be a good nicht. so..

I leave you this thought as a Mauchlineight- http://www.robertburns.org/works/58.shtml

I'll no doubt post more the mora as I plan to go down to Alloway the mora on bike if the snow allows... so until then

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the pudding-race!
Aboon them a' yet tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o'a grace
As lang's my arm.

Its not an uncommon fact that the weather recently has been very poor, a mixture of rain, hail, snow, gale force winds and everything else being chucked at my part of the world. .. so it was a very pleasant change to wake to nice sunny weather - and I thought Im grabbing my bike and going a run for what seems like the first time in weeks. - on a Day Off. Done the usual route home-Kilmarnock, join the cycle path to Irvine, then down to Ayr via Troon. Then back up the B743 to Mauchline. 44 Miles and a very good cycle.  Planning more on Sat, Hopefully a 60 Miler. - Weather looks ok..
