Thanks for the tips. I have already checked out Tesco’s free Pod Points in Dumfries and just pop the car on there for a few % charge when I’m shopping. I have now signed up with BP Pulse too thanks. For charger […]

How sad. His rhythms have run through most of my life. I always thought that a couple of lines from Dylan’s ‘Hurricane’ were relevant to Charlie’s life; ‘ It’s my work’ he’d say ‘and I do it for pay. And when […]

I had the AstraZeneca option on 4th February. The whole process here, in Dumfries, was very efficient and took no more that 10 minutes from getting out of the car and back in again. I felt a bit lethargic next […]

As I live in Dumfries where Burns spent his final years, I took a 10 minute walk this morning across the river Nith to St Michael’s cemetery where his mausoleum is sited. I then walked up the river and across the […]

Yes, indeed, Chris has been most ubiquitous and has played with a large number of bands and artistes. Never really set the heather on fire under his own steam though. Good guitarist
