My background is.... ?

Glasgow's East end - Scottish of Irish descent, plenty of the usual exposure to alcohol abuse, mental health problems, sectarianism, with a good dollop of prayers and music thrown in...

I felt/feel farthest from Home.......

In a police station outside Paris. But that's another story.

For me, Home is...

Feeling connected with family, friends - wherever!

I remember as a child........

Age 7 or 8: collecting mussels in a bucket from a sea loch in Argyllshire at low tide, steamed and dipped in malt (yeuch!) vinegar for tea... Never wanted to leave.
