Also St Dwnwen's Day! Welsh patron saint of love, ahhh. I get into heaps of trouble for forgetting this, especially as my OH is from Anglesey (the home of the aforementionned saint). Even though he forgets Valentine's day all the time!!!
Mmm, haggis is great stuff, wholesome and heartwarming (or is that heartstopping... ) love the stuff. What about black pudding then, are you adverse to that too?

Just don't poke haggis to see if it is done. My Mum did and ended up wearing it!

You can get a very nice veggie haggis, years ago my brother bought me one back when visiting the Edinburgh Festival. (Think Waitrose might sell them now)

Aye, it’s a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht the nicht, just another wee deoch ‘n doris afore ye gang awa’. Yer a’richt, ye ken.

Happy Burns Night.

Damn! And we had egg and chips for tea... if I'd've remembered we would've had haggis, I love it and saw one in the shops the other day -
