Holidays
Childhood holidays My childhood memories of school holidays are mainly of playing with friends outside in Ibrox in endless sunny days. I’m sure the actual weather was not great but unless it was pouring rain we were outside all the time. As a child, most holidays away...
The Loch
I consider myself very fortunate to live in a town which is close to the city, but also has this beautiful loch less than a mile from our house. It makes a great walk – flat and scenic – and people walk round as many times as they feel able to.

Music
Music has always been an important part of my life. When I was a child - probably about 7 or 8 years old - I was sent to ballet lessons. The classes were held in Walmer Crescent, where we lived, so it was easy for me to get to the lessons. However, I didn't enjoy it...
