Hi Wishmaster.

Welcome to the forum.

Hi all,

I've just had this board recommended to me by a good pal in Glasgow

I moved from the north of Glasgow to Knightswood in 1963 and stayed there until I got married to my lovely husband (from Maryhill then Drumchapel) in 1969.

We have lived down south in Surrey since 1971 and have a son, 2 daughters, 2 grandsons plus 2 granddaughters

I retired early and, encouraged by my husband, fullfilled my ambition to write a book, since then I have had a couple published with more in the pipeline

Looking forward to finding my way round here

Hi Dazzle, welcome to the forum.

Welcome Dazzle, another far flung person, like mysel.

There are lots of good threads to catch up on and oddles of articles on local facilities, characters etc etc on the main website. When you have caught your breath it would be good to hear about your book.

Welcome to the forum, Dazzle. You have us all intrigued so hope you're going to tell us more.

Woof woof everyone, I'm very pleased to be on here, as I'm a truly West End kinda mutt. (Although if truth be told I'm originally from Ayrshire, and other universes). But I've been in the West End for over twenty years (and several hundred centuries - but that's another story - and speaking of stories, I have more than one tail, and My Big Folk have managed to pen my first tale). I'm off to Waterstones for a personal appearance where I'll have to give a great big swish of my tail (as I gather they're quite posh in that Sauchiehall Street)on Saturday at 12 noon. My Big Folk are reading some of my story, and I'll be gadding about, showing off as usual. Right hello to you all, I'm off to send some p-mails....and then I'm taking a trip in this bluster in my Wim Wim for the Wowser to wind the weather up on a wet day...night night.

You're very welcome on the forum, Badger Mutt, and a most suitable post for such a breezy night.

Good luck at Waterstone's. I'll be in York or would have come along with some of our weans. Hope to catch you another time.

Ahem... far be it for me to comment, Pat but you seem to be talking to a dug.

*whistles, pats knees, here boy, ruffles ears* Welcome to the Forum, Bager Mutt.















Right that's it... I have limits you know.

Hi Paton Family, your address is a wee bit confusing. George Street is in Glasgow City Centre (G1 postcode), Whiteinch and Partick are two separate areas of Glasgow. They are adjacent to each other, Whiteinch has a G14 postcode and Partick a G11 postcode.

What do you have that connects your family to any of those addresses?

[Dazzle]

Thanks for the welcome

Sorry, I have just moved house and I'm still trying to get organised, so not much time to spare at the moment but here is a link with information on my books XXX
