About me
A Scot, I like cityscapes & scenery.
I like my comforts, especially quality beer.
Some culture I like, some I can leave alone. Ceramics, for instance, are not for me!
Too old for discos & clubbing, but not to rock & roll. Mind you, my bulk is beginning to make that dodgy :-(

Should also have mentioned that as I am a CAMRA member, beer played a large part in my planning. The Red Shoes at Mabou was a goodie!
