Yep Dark C., all bleeding day, hasn't stopped here. Hubby was thro' in Edinburgh and says it was torrential coming back up M90 - always seems to hold a lot of water that bit of road - I don't like driving on it when it's wet. Didn't clear until Stirling so I guess the East is getting battered today.

I'll pretend I didn'thear that Cookie I'd love that could be in my garden.

Arran DC - where I did my growing up - spent summers with chums camping out at Lamlash, schoolgirls. and oh boy did we have a ball. Hitched everywhere, my best friends 2 big brothers used to take us - they slept in the van - and were supposed to keep us out of trouble, ha ha.

Ceilidhs every night, spent a summer with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band and of course the ubiquitous Mr. Billy Connolly, was just starting out.

And the sun always shone. Water from a stream, eggs and milk from the farmer. Man, I've had a great life!

We have lived here since 67 Carol and joined the Merchant Navy from here in 69. Left school 22nd December and was in Ireland on the 24th having sailed from here on the 23rd. Did not have a Christmas or Hogmanay at home for the next 12 years until I had to leave the navy because of an accident which caused me injuries which made me fail the medical to go back.

'It'll be Lonely This Christmas' - and yes, I know about that. I was married to a sailor, ex Royal New Zealand Navy. Wouldn't come back onshore, sailors, being sailors (he was a diver).

The Christmases I spent on my own with my son. He came home from school one day, and his father had been away for 4 months in Africa, they had their milk and biscuits and then he disappeared upstairs. Where Stephen took his pal into our bedroom (father sleeping) and said 'see I do have a Dad'.

Became a diver because they didn't have to wear uniform like the rest - Guernsey sweaters. What a man.

You sound not too dissimilar, I bet you've been everywhere.
