You were here before me. I moved this end of the world in 1978 and have never regretted it.

You have probably visited the inside of the Castle which is something I still have to do.

Edinburgh and Glasgow, two cities but so so different.

I bet you a pound to a pinch of salt that your Grandmother stood no nonsense coming from Glasgow.

She was an incredible human being, ruled the roost and lived a very long and happy and healthy life to 103 years...had a wee sip of Scotch every night with her water.

That is what I like to hear and is something to aim for.

My ambition is to get as many years out of my pension as I had to put in to get it, therefore I have to live to 102, and I can live with that
