Greetings bloggers, Happy New Year! Hope you all enjoyed the festive season.
The Hilltown Writers' group CD-ROM of poems, prose, artwork, photographs, is progressing well and should be finished by the end of February. We are going into the studio at Hilltown FM to record readings, introduction/voiceover next Friday and are visiting The Courier photos archive at Meadowside, Dundee in 2 weeks time to look at publishing copyright and archive photos for the project.
I am mastering my new digital camera, will upload or download pics on the blog when I understand the manual!, enjoying my bottle of malt whisky and admiring my new watch - all great Xmas presents. Have a good 2008.

Fish Out Of Water

Feeling out of place: a fish out of water,
'Snobby' Perthite decamped 22 miles downwater
To City of Discovery; home of Oor Wullie,
The Broons, The Courier, Sunday Post, Evening Tullay.
Good points: Hilltown Writers' Group, DCA, Rep, entertainment;
Bad points: deprivation, depression, widespread unemployment,
Anti-social neighbours, crime, vandalism, litter louts,
But not all rosy in Perth either, swings and roundabouts.
So, go with the flow, make new friends, develop interests,
Realising Dundee's fine when you get to know it.
