Happy New Year?

Today is December 28 - so we are halfway through. Just Hogmanay and New Year`s Day to go and life can get back to normal.
That is if life can ever be `normal` again. With all the prophets of doom constantly tellinng us how bad the new year is going to be, I can`t help but think of Burns` words from Tae a Mouse - Forward though I canna see, I guess and fear.

But speaking of Burns we do have the Year of the Homecoming to look forward to. Ayr will be he launching pad for the year of clebrations, with a great Burnsfest weekend planned for the 24th and 25th to mark the 250th anniversary of the bard`s birth.

Communities in South Ayrshire have a number of events planned for the whole year both to entertain you and any visitors who are attracted here because of the falling pound (You see every cloud does have a silver lining!)
