Rabbie Burns, Where's Your Troosers?

 It's Burns night tomorrow and I join in with my Scottish family in celebrating the great poet and working class hero, Robert Burns along with the haggis and of course the Kilt. 

 

 

I've just come down
From the Isle of Skye
I'm not very big and I'm awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Donald, where's your troosers?

Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where's your troosers?

Delargo Towers annual Fuchsia Fest 2025.

 Welcome the annual Delargo Towers Fuchsia Festival 2025.

It has been an amazing year for our Fuchsias and many are still flowering their hearts out and looking fab as I type this

 Fuchsias flower for such a long time, it is easy to take them a bit for granted. They often don't make it onto the blog as I try to show what has newly come into flower in each season.

To make up for this every year we hold a 'Fuchsia Fest' this year we have 56 named varieties to view

So with out any further ado, I declare the 'Delargo Towers Fuchsia Fest 2025'  well and truly open!
