Happy New Year

We're back, refreshed and freezing!! I know it's usualy colder after December but this really is cold, poor Barbara had to go home on our first day back as the cold water pipes down one side of the kitchen were frozen!! Penny reported -8 on her car thermometer this morning, although I've had to move the computer out of the sun this afternoon....

So good news everyone an excuse to eat more scotch eggs!!


Burns Suppers have been part of Scottish culture for about 200 years as a means of commemorating their best loved bard. And when Burns immortalised haggis in verse he created a central link that is maintained to this day. The ritual was started by close friends of Burns a few years after his death in 1796 as a tribute to his memory.

Unfortunately we cannot supply the piper and all the trimmings but we do have the Chieftain Scotch Egg! Made with the finest prize winning Haggis from MacSweens of Edinburgh and our delicious Saddleback pork, as the poem goes just ‘waiting to be addressed’…

As an accompaniment add a few WeeBeasties or a take a Chieftain Jumble to make all kinds of burns night treats
