The Forester's Burns Dinner ....
26th
January 2018 (Friday)
.... 10.30 We have a nice morning,
though it has turned cloudier in the past hour. I don’t have a ‘plan’ so far today, but I
might go for a daunder, probably downtown, later. I’m looking forward going to “The Forester’s”
for dinner tonight; good food and a
nice blether is always relaxing. I
know I’m not travelling until Wednesday, but
I start to get ‘uptight’ ..... probably as soon as I know when I’m travelling. Must ‘go’ .... “slight flap on” .... I need
a cuppa.
From
the Forester’s we went to ‘The Bull’ in Newick village; not far from Uckfield. ‘The Bull’ held their Burn’s Supper last night... and by
all accounts, and as viewed on YouTube... it, the Burns Supper, had been a
great success, with pipes and drums etc..... but no Burns poetry. I had a half pint in The Forester’s,
followed by another in ‘The Bull’.
Puku, bless his flabbiness, is contented tonight!

23.30 Janice, Janette, Michael have just got
back from the Forester’s where we had partaken of Dinner. The girls had normal food; Michael and I had Cock-a-Leekie soup, then Haggis
with trimmings. One of the trimmings
was gravy: gravy with a distinctive flavour. I don’t know the recipe for this gravy, but
I would keep it out of North Korean hands; the
moon was well within reach if this was used as rocket fuel. We finished off with Cranachan. It was a very enjoyable meal, but awfie
filling; maybe that’s because we
emptied the gravy boat!

When
we were leaving The Bull frost was beginning to settle on car windscreens!
No
‘plan’ for tomorrow, apart from the “Black Boy’s” Burns Supper in the evening; the fourth and final Burn’s Supper for ‘The
Boy’ this year.
