Well done to all the winners, and here's hoping I manage to win something next year!

A word of advice

Should you ever get on a train from Edinburgh to Glasgow Central, setting off from platform 11, and you find that you are on the wrong train, here's what to do. Disembark at Larbet; exit the station and re-enter around the other side; catch a train from there that really goes to Glasgow Central. Be sure not to get on one going back to Edinburgh.
   Don't ask me how I know. I just know, all right?

Another book

Partly inspired by our road trip, I've completed another novel about... a road trip. The protagonist meets up with old friends from various parts of his life, just as we did. The people he meets up with have various problems, and he does his best to help all of them. It's not meant to be especially deep or meaningful; more of humorous entertainment.
   Have I succeeded? Well, obviously I like to think so, but the jury's out at the moment. Children, Ivy + couple of friends have the draft copy and I await their reactions with interest.
