Glasgow Angling Centre Open Weekend

27 September, 201428 September, 2014 by Alistair

I had a couple of hours free between dropping the wife and kids off at a party and going to another kids party in the afternoon which I had to attend because it was a family one. My life has now become incredibly rock n’ roll. I now tell people in work on Mondays that…

Shaking off the cobwebs!

18 March, 2014 by Alistair

It has been an interesting couple of months, I find myself thinking remarkable un-urban thoughts such as where can I get firewood and don’t the stars look nice without their usual haze of urban street lighting.

Kelvinators – my faith has been restored!

8 February, 2013 by Alistair

Save Millport’s Marine Biology Station

6 January, 2013 by Alistair
