Well it has been an eventful couple of weeks. Regular readers of the 'blog' will have noticed that I mentioned the forthcoming wedding to my long suffering partner, Lynette. I am delighted to announce that she has made an honest man of me - even if she did leave me to sweat in the ceremony when she was nearly thirty minutes late!
Our honeymoon took us to the grand landscape of the Dolomites in northern Italy, followed by a relaxing break in Venice and yes, I did take a camera but only captured three images.
Immediately on our return to the glorious north east of England, we found ourselves heading north of the border to help promote my latest book - Portrait of the Borders. So here I am, signing
copies of my books in the Galashiels branch of WHSmiths. Thank you to the staff and customers that I spoke to on the day and for your kind comments regarding the book. Lets face it, if the Scottish public like the book then I must have done something right. Now I just need to return to the Waverley Bar in Hawick to see if the book gets the locals approval and to find out if they think that an Englishman can do justice to their beloved homeland.
Any excuse for a pint eh?
