1. The sun is shining in Glasgow
2. visited an 93 year old aunt who is still as witty and fun as ever.
3. Lunch with 6 female cousins(imagine the din!)

I was to learn that she was Syrian, and that her boys and husband had died during the wars there. We held hands and wept . She had fled with her two remaining daughters to Scotland. How do you cope with such losses? I could rant about the evil men who cause such pain, but I will,in time forget them, To my dying breath, I will remember the dignity and warmth of this woman and thank everyone who fights for the cause of asylum seekers in this country.

I'm visiting family in Scotland. On the train I sat next to a lovely lady and we struck up a conversation about why we were travelling. She had been visiting one of her daughters and grandsons in London. She proudly showed me some photos of them, a beautiful young woman, a pharmacist, and a fine lad of around 11. Then she showed me photo of her husband, her 27 year old and her 10 year old boy. I asked if they would be meeting her. Her eyes filled up with tears. 2/
