We had the opportunity to start our New Year out right by attending our first but hopefully not our last, Robert Burns' birthday dinner.
This was something that neither Dave or I had heard of but after seeing a poster for the event through the NATO base we decided it was something we had to do.
For those of you who don't know the significance of Robert Burns the short version is that he is widely thought to be the National poet of Scotland and wrote many poems and songs including Auld Lange Syne and A Red, Red Rose.
The dinners are held all over the world to celebrate this rather boisterous fellow. The evening is filled with poems, music, haggis and whisky. We even learned to dance a reel.
It was a wonderful evening. one that memories are made from.
