Today we are celebrating my 11th birthday, while Gail is also fondly remembering my predecessor Hamish the Westie, whose life came to and end on the very same day that mine began.
And what better way to mark the occasion than for Gail to bake me some ultra-scrumptious Haggis and Cheese Scones*!
In a subtle nod to one of Hamish's most famous exploits, Gail served me the scones on the Nottingham lace tablecloth she inherited from Human Granny and Grandad.
[You might remember also that I once staged a re-enactment of the 'Hamish trashes HGY's scones and smears jam all over the lace tablecloth' episode...]
PS from Gail: huge thanks to our cycling friend Muriel for alerting me to this most deliciously Scottish scone recipe!
