BURNS SUPPER
If there had been a “wee, sleekit, cow’rin, tim’rous beastie” sheltering in St
Oswald’s it would have heard the skirl of the pipes while the haggis was
piped in and addressed with gusto by George Anderson.
After Grace by Bishop Gregor an
excellent and appropriately Scottish
meal was enjoyed by all.
The speakers and entertaining artistes
did us proud – our own Lesley-Ann,
Inez and Anne and visitors Mark
Sherland and Tony Capaldi.
The inclement weather reduced our
numbers but “the best laid schemes
o’mice and men gang aft agley”.
Thank you to all including the hard-
working kitchen staff Emily, Iona, Carol-
Ann and Matt.

Dear Rev Lesley-ann,
