Jennifer takes a drink.
John gives the toast to the lassies.
Patrick takes his turn.
I recited "This is no my ain Lassie" and then introduced a selection of poems by Rab Wilson, a contemporary Scottish Poet who writes mainly in Scots.
Emma gave the reply from the Lassies.
Her audience was gripped, a very funny speech.
Third course was Cranachan, a traditional Scottish pudding made from whipped cream, oats, whisky and topped with rasberries. It was gorgeous and I could have eaten half a dozen of them.
Next came cheese and biscuits and coffee.
This was accompanied by homemade Mints, Shortbread and Scottish Tablet (sugar, condensed milk and butter)
