Mine would have been 90. She passed in 2015. She knew me like a book and I loved her dearly. Always there for me. Like you said few of them left now. This is her and my Dad at a dance in the mid 50s.

My German friend sent me a 1kg stollen. It's a tradition of hers since 1994 when we lived out first Xmas there. I am now single and diabetic! Goodness knows what to do. I have sliced small bits from it every other day. That's how you deal with a problem!

Yesterday I heard a clip from BBC Radio 4 about Scotland on the news, about 30s worth. It mentioned the "poor performing schools and ailing SNHS" both statements totally a lie. Yet casually dropped into the news feed. Like this. Pure propaganda. #scotland #bbc #propaganda

Ready for winter and in hibernation this tree has lost all it's leaves. Stands in front of a typical red sandstone Glasgow tenement building. Around the corner the same kind of building has wee shops on the ground floor. All very iconic of Glasgow. #photography

and the final drawing, a howitzer for the British Army during World War 2. In the early 80s Baker Perkins made the cookie lines for Duncan Hines, machines to make Pampers and Pringles for P&G and the Rapier missile launcher for the Royal Navy. #history #nostalgia #engineering

My former employer was a world leading engineering company, Baker Perkins plc, Westfield Rd., England. When I joined in '83 it had '000s of employees. Now I believe it is around a few hundred. During the transfer to a new site I had these drawings photographed. They show the factory during WW2. #war

These trees look over 2 bowling greens that are no longer used. Oh to be them and to see what they have witnessed. All the folk that played on these greens have long gone. When I sit on the bench there I sometimes feel their ghosts. Real Glaswegians. Full of heart. #glasgow #scotland #ghosts
