Happy Burns Night Bonnie Scotland!

My love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June :
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I :
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun :
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only love,
And fare thee well a while !
And I will come again, my love,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

– Robert Burns –

A Quick Catch Up

Well since my last post Christmas has been and gone and we’ve leapt into a brand new year. Happy 2013 everyone! I enjoyed the Christmas holidays despite being struck with a throat infection and a stomach bug, nothing that a bit of festive cheer can’t temporarily cure! The New Year was spent with my friend Martina and her family. To sum it up it was really lovely; An evening of food and laughter, time spent with wonderful people, a bit of the old Hootenanny (Jools Holland’s a NYE staple, right?) a ‘group effort’ of Auld Lang Syne, and grandparents who really know how to shake their tailfeathers! That really is a nice way to see in the New Year.
