Favorite quotes
“Whatever is for you won’t go by you” – Unknown.
“Go to Glasgow at least once in your life and have a roll and square sliced sausage and a cup of tea. When you feel the tea coursing over your spice-singed tongue, you’ll know what I mean when I say: It’s good to be alive.” – Billy Connolly.
The best place you’ve travelled to
I have been fortunate to have travelled to many different parts of the globe over the years. Some standouts that come to mind are trekking in Nepa and New Zealand (beautiful mountain scenery), Vegas (for the glitz and entertainment), Capital cities such as Paris, Rome and of course Edinburgh (for the historical architecture). So many places to visit and so little time.

Spring. I also miss the snow (not much of this in Australia).

Running along the beach and seeing the ocean.
Watching the Footie with my sons at the MCG.
Having a glass of Red or a nice Malt while relaxing at home.
