'Burns Night' - no haggis, neeps or tatties here -

just Ray's tipple and Jinks' reindeer -

from 'A Bottle And Friend'

".....catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man:
Believe me, happiness is shy,
And comes not aye when sought, man."

Robert Burns
Islay seems very well represented here - I approve!

@glenmoor Special dispatch from Clare for Ray's birthday last year. The other small bottle, which I did not include in the shot was Bowmore and is empty now but I can't bear to throw the bottle out! (Maybe I can find a small candle to fit it to do that 1970s thing for the table!)

Hehe! I WAS, I WAS!!!!!!!!!! (It's the reindeer who is inebriated!!. Actually it was funny as Jinks did not like me having his reindeer and was jumping up the back of my legs while I was taking the shot. As soon as I gave the reindeer back he just ignored it.....)

Thanks for all your comments. I really wasn't too sure myself about this pic but it was the only way I could think of to comply with Burns' Night!
