HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I return to Dougie McLean's version of "Auld Lang Syne" in the Scots language year after year. No pictures in the video, just sound and lyrics with English translation. I added a couple of photos from my travels in Scotland.

GOODBYE 2014 - HELLO 2015

Blessings and good wishes for 2015.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

How many of you know the lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne"?



Or if you prefer the pipes...



The Scots - they are a proud people. I've seen their lovely Highlands.

A BLESSED AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

GOOD-BYE 2012 - HELLO 2013

New Orleans - Fireworks on the river

And he: "I am not eager to rehearse 
   My thoughts and theory which you have forgotten. 
   These things have served their purpose: let them be. 
So with your own, and pray they be forgiven 
   By others, as I pray you to forgive 
   Both bad and good. Last season's fruit is eaten 
And the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail. 
   For last year's words belong to last year's language 
   And next year's words await another voice.

(Little Gidding - T S Eliot)

                    HAPPY NEW YEAR!
