Living with one of life’s more sobering lessons…
It’s Day 8 of my 21 Days of Transience, and today we’re off to Glasgow for Hogmanay… There are whole chunks I couldn’t remember the next day, never mind nudging 50 years down the line. It’s new year’s eve 1972, I am 18, and I am in Glasgow. I am in...
The subtleties of power at the top of the food chain…

Please let me know if I catch your attention — all feedback most welcome!
