              O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
              To see oursels as others see us
              It wad frae monie a blunder free us
              An' foolish notion
              What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us
              An' ev'n Devotion

              Oh, that God would give us the very smallest of gifts
              To be able to see ourselves as others see us
              It would save us from many mistakes
              and foolish thoughts
              We would change the way we look and gesture
              and to how and what we apply our time and attention.

              Wise words, wise words indeed. Hope you have a lovely evening.

                Haggis 'n' neeps......Yum Yum!!!
                In the past have been over in Perth for the races on more than one occasion and always have to have some haggis...
                I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

                        Well every day is a school day, had never realised you were Scottish - at least its not as bad as when I get people's gender wrong!

                        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                            Ah, the only people I've ever known to celebrate Burns night have been Scottish born and bred so I just assumed it would be the same here

                              When I''ve been to Burns nights at my neighbours we had to write our own poems to read. Is that tradition or were they just winding us up
