I was struggling to move furniture on my own when he said in his Scots/German accent 'Oot my way son' Then the 5' 5' guy in his late 70's made light work shifting 2 wardrobes and a cast iron bed out of the way to let me near a hatch in the floor. Was that where he was breeding the haggi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Merkie84 Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 (edited) No burns night for me but my wife was asked to do a “burns breakfast” assembly at her international school here in Tokyo which I was asked to come along to help out with. The teaching assistant is a Scot and a dab hand on the pipes which he has with him. He piped in the head teacher and senior staff. The kids sang auld lang syne ( which weirdly is played at closing time in Japanese supermarkets) followed by a wee introduction to burns and why he is celebrated. Bagpiping teacher then gave an excellent immortal memory, another read “John Anderson my Jo”, then a wee Japanese girl sang the most beautiful version of “my love is like a red red rose” I have ever heard. Then we had a mini ceilidh, managing to fit in a military two step, a gay Gordon’s and a massive orcadian strip the willow. ( all were carnage with 120 kids and only 3 Scots , but everyone had a great laugh) At the end the kids were piped out and given a snack of walkers shortbread. All in all a good little event.

Of course, mushrooms are a must have with a fry up. For white puddings is Speyside Specialities all the way from the supermarkets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
