Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 25, 2025

Just walk away Fred, walk away

A herd of terriers—what terror!

Nope. Just Burns night.

Is every one of our fellow British commenters fine after " Éowyn" hit the British Isles?

The Battle of Bannockburn was fought on 23–24 June 1314, between the army of Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, and the army of King Edward II of England, …

I hope it’s not 1745 again – Bonnie Prince Charles’ failed invasion of England!!!

Who’s the foe: English Springer Spaniels, Yorkshire Terriers, English Cocker Spaniels, Old English Sheepdogs?

Just pour them some Scotch.

Did Jamie Frazier fight there?

Its a uprising of warrior poets!

Och!

Just a wee bit dramatic are we Fred?

Fred …… if there is food involved, You and Yorky should join ……. “BUT” …. if it’s for a battle …… hide ….. :)

January 25th was Burns day, A Burns supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, the author of many Scots poems. The suppers are normally held on or near the poet’s birthday, 25 January, known as Burns Night also called Robert Burns Day or ‘Rabbie’ Burns Day.

Sorry, I guess they won’t let me post links. My last post was to have been a link to Robert Burns’ poem “Scots Wha Hae Wi’ Wallace Bled.” (Which was referenced in the final scene of Braveheart.)
