Occasional cyclist. Hobby Photographer. Liberal Left. NHS Audiologist for 46 years. Ex-2/51 Hld Vols. T1DM. 🍉.
Originally from North Lanarkshire, then Aberdeenshire, happy-ish for now in the home counties, slouching towards retirement.
Fond memories of Dunnottar, but I prefer the southern castles now, Corfe, Pevensey and their ilk

Food shops always stuck in my memory. Malcolm Campbell greengrocers, Templeton's and Galbraith's early supermarkets
