The Hogmanay Haggis hunt

We drove North to gather in Ballater at a rented house for the festivities.

Before the young 'uns went to bed, the hunt for the treasure that the haggis had hoarded out in the garden had to be undertaken. There followed a hysterical wander round the garden with torches and strange noises emanating from behind the wall, then up a tree.
Anna suddenly says, "Daddy, what are you doing up that tree?"
Quick as a flash, her Daddy replied, "I'm looking for the haggis, darling".

Several bags of fruit and sweeties later, we returned from the -9C to the tropical heat indoors.

A few internal warming drinks and we were fine and the stories of the Great 2008 Haggis hunt were recounted.
