I would dearly love to be back in Scotland. It will always be "home" but my best memories are of my mother deciding on a Saturday where we would go on the tramcar for our Sunday outing. Or else, we might just go for a long walk out the Lambill Road past the cemeteries and the old coalier's cottages to the road (Blackhill ?) that would take us into Maryhill and the car terminus. The choices were endless.

It has to be a Thursday night, my granny and me would get the bus into town to meet my uncle , and his pay packet. We would go shopping, ( loved it in the winter as all the shop lights would twinkle in the dark).Then we would make our way to St Enoch , to RS McColl,s , he would taste certain sweets from the pick and mix.To make sure they were good, he,d say winking at me. Then we would take a taxi, to nitshill chippy, fish ,n chips twice ,sausage n chips and 2 big onions for me. The taxi would take us home to Ravenscraig, I felt like a princess and so rich, didnt know till I was older, we were as poor as church mice then. But by god I had the best childhood in the world.

Marion, not so strange that your Mammy comes into your dreams. I find that happening to me. When she visits me in my sleep she is not an old woman and its comforting. I have a large family and there's always a need for prayer so I ask my Mammy and Daddy to take care of all my grown-up weans.

A think I would like to be in Wee shasher's grannys kitchen just waiting for these Empire biscuits to cool.Hey Mation I didnt know you lived in Easterhouse.I had a few good friends from there.
No really I would love to visit so many places ,all hold such wonderful memories.Just to sit round the kitchen table with the family ,to smell mum's good old home cooking .All the talking and laughing ,sometimes arguing, just our family in general. Just to have one day back.PRICELESS
