It’s happened – after looming large on the horizon for so long I have finally reached the milestone of fifty years on this planet. Millstone, milestone, I guess it’s all about perspective. Half a century and I’m still here.
My original plan to mark it was to take a trip over to Paris to visit the grave of one Jim Morrison (for what’s a Happy Birthday without a cemetery?) 😂
But, with all of the shifting sands of Covid requirements, I decided to postpone that for now to remain on this side of the Channel. And so my next couple of posts will be about what I did instead, including a few nights spent in the breezy Scottish capital of Edinburgh.
The first, though, will be about a tour I took my fourteen-year-old daughter on. A hopefully inspirational tour of a certain neighbouring northern city, centred upon a certain neighbouring northern pop group . . .
City Jackdaw 
Oh I **am** excited to get on the bus and take the tour with you via your blog postings! Touring through the eyes of the younger generation (hey there Millie!) will be greatly inspirational as well!
Meanwhile Happy b-day, bud.

The sun is shining for you, hope you had a great time whatever you decided to celebrate on this auspicious day. As a by the by, we have booked to go to Edinburgh in February but with each news report it seems to be fading further away…….

Happy milestone. Mine was spent in full lockdown last year so even going into Slawit was a magical mystery tour. Hope you all enjoyed.
