Gaelic in the Borders Ceilidh in Maxton on 15th November

The Gaelic in the Borders Ceilidh on 15th November was great fun. Two girls played a flute and violin duet and the violinist also played a solo. 2 people played accordions and one the piano. We had Gaelic, English and Scots songs and a lady and I each read 2 short stories.

For supper there was leek and potato soup, carrot and courgette soup, lentil soup accompanied by bread, butter and oatcakes and several puddings: raspberry pavlova, apple pie, trifle, chocolate cake, fresh fruit salad, cheesecake.
Both the carrot and courgette soup and the lentil soup were excellent, I didn't try the other one. Of course, I ate too much; even so, there was a lot of food left over.

And....
I won a bottle of malt in the raffle !
