La Vida

    I've been in The Canary Islands, the last few weeks and it's great to escape the wet, cold weather back in Scotland. I love Scotland, however the winter months and lack of sunshine makes me yearn to be where the sun shines, most days. Life seems so much better.

    Since I returned to Tenerife, I've been catching up with friends. It doesn't matter how long I've been back in the UK, when I come back there is always lots to talk about.

    Sitting in the sun, looking out to sea the other day, I summed up the news I had heard over the last week. There had been good news, and equally some bad.

    I came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, what nationality you are, The conversations we have in the sunshine, or in the cold include everything from births, relationships, deaths and marriages.  The things that la vida is all about.
