Hamilton! My mother is from Fairhill originally and although I never lived there I was born in Beckford Lodge hospital. Hope things are going well for you both.
I went for a long walk at 6am this morning which was a good cure for the jetlag and vino after last night homecoming meal

Interestingly the suburban wifeys were calling others names and the resident stato appeared to be questioning my integrity.(probably and accountant).

Anyway Islandergirl,pearly,kporte,FFF,Baby 75 ,Mags and many more thanks
for the company and best wishes to you all.

I have escaped and I'll post from the other side or the public library in Aus.

Yee ha !

I luved being back, buying the daily record, hearing jacqui bird doing her best to read the news in a posh voice, listening and laughing my head off at bbc scotland, hell i was even listening to the fitbaw on the the radio on a sat.

i laughed for the 3 weeks i was there.

Re: Farewell

6am walk, that sounds familiar, I also got through a stack of books in the hours between 2 -4am for the first few days.

Kev I hope you are putting EVERYONE right that says shite like why did you come back to all this rain etc etc.

Re: Farewell

5 years after we returned to the UK, people still ask why I came back, until you have lived outside of the box you will never understand.. Sounds like you have slotted back in ok.
