Always been a huge fan of β€œScottish music” of all genres ( I grew up with parents listening to Andy Stewart and the Alexander brothers et al )
I’m looking forward to being able to attend more events. Tickets booked for Red Hot Chilli Pipers in Feb 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In Kirkcaldy today for the 1st time in over 9 years. The degeneration of what
should/was a busy bustling high street had started just before I left, with out of town shopping taking M&S & Next to the retail park but I was shocked today to see just how little shops there are (unless charity shops)

Having a blast on our β€œ world tour of Scotland β€œ Angus Caithness Fife Lothian, Dumfries and Galloway with a few more places on the visit list

I forgot how hospitable Scottish folk are … it’s good to be back but I’m bloody freezing (30Β° colder than I’m used to 🫣)

Sadly they didn’t …despite me asking the little darling to stop ! and at nearly Β£900 each for the flight I’d really have liked the peace !!!
In contrast there was a tiny tot of less than a year a few rows away and not a peep from him

Today was supposed to be the start of the post holiday detox … just eaten a tray of Hotel Chocolat truffles … so guess I’ve failed miserably!

Genuine question ( following a child kicking my seat for most of an 8 hour flight yesterday !) why don’t airlines have child friendly areas ?
