All the pomp and splendour of the Caledonian Society's St. Andrews Ball, held last weekend at the Fairmont Southampton. Sorry folks, no handsome Mark by my side for this one. I went solo as I was taking photos for the society. But I thought you all might like seeing some of the photos.
Yip, people danced and I'm not talking about the Waltz either.... You need a degree in Scottish to pull this one off. I failed miserably. Must be my African blood. All I wanted to do was get the hell off the dance floor. Help!
My table was made up mostly of Americans - visitors to the Island for the past 20, or so years.
They were fascinated by the whole event - for some it was the first Caledonian event, while for the man next to me, Alan, it was his 3rd or 4th.
They were both from Conneticut.
Here are some of the lovely ladies at the ball, including Natalie (far right) my former hairdresser and the girl second from the left, and apologies but her name escapes me, goes to my gym. Yip, she's Scottish!
