    Thanks, Michael:)
    I do know Robert Burns, as one of my Scottish friends was born in the same village as the big master himself and I do also know about Guy Fawkes night, but still I could not make minced meat out of it!

    Hi Michael,

    Your words make me wonder what happened on Robert Burns' birthday?
    Can you fill the reader in on what fire/ explosion you are referring to on the 25th of January?

    (((hugs))) xx

      I am glad to Ingrid.
      The word 'Burns' is an English play on words. It is Robert Burns birthday. The famous Scottish poet and the word burn as in to burn wood for guy fawkes night. I admit this is cryptic, especially if English is not your 1st language.

      Ingrid, thank you for checking this out with me. I should have added a footnote.
