shewhomustWe will not be eating haggis tonight, Burns Night though it is. It's not for want of trying. Ocado had no haggis when I placed my last order; or rather, they offered only vegetarian haggis, and at the time I thought I could do better.
Yesterday morning we went into Durham. I had some errands to do at the market, and I thought that buying a haggis would be one of them. The cheese stall (in former times my usual supplier, but now under different management) could not help, and the butcher's stall has vanished completely. Luckily the watch stall was able to refit the pin that secures my watch strap, so the trip wasn't wasted. But neither the supermarket nor the fancy new deli could help me. So there will be smoked mackerel kedgeree for dinner, and very nice too.
And here's a picture from last summer's holiday in Galloway, from Annan's old harbour area:
