Halloween is huge over here. I understand that this is fairly recent, and I'm sure Australia will go the same way soon enough - it's one more bonanza for the shops after all.Both...   Read more

Hidden Glasgow 5. Old Fashioned, in a good way! Posted on 24/10/2010

  • Was just reading your blog and was excited to hear that there was a fellow aussie, living on the southside of glasgow and who was an athiest and maybe not here through choice but thought fondly of the place like you would an old grumpy uncle with plenty of character...but then I read that you had escaped back to Oz, I hope that you have settled back in very well and it is a shame that I missed you while you were here, would have been nice to grab a cuppa somewhere :)
