And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
and gie’s a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
–Robert Burns, 1788
Happy New Year!
Just back from our annual trip home to see family, friends and for Anne to do some networking in preparation for her CCA residency in Glasgow this Fall.
This photograph was taken shortly before my father traveled to Los Angeles as a young man with his uncle who had been posted there by the Foreign Office. Also in the frame are my grandparents, my uncle, and my grandfather’s beloved gun dog Tosh.
