"Loch Lomond Arms Hotel" Situated in lovely Luss it has been under the stewardship of the Colquhoun family since the 17th Century. Those squiggles all over the front arent the work of my great nephew but dozens and dozens of antlers.

"Crosby Street, Manhattan" amcmurchie.com/product-cate... Where Auntie Sharon lived in the late 90s. She isn't my auntie & actually wasn't anyone's auntie at the time. She's my pal. I just thought she'd be a cool auntie. We've all called her that since. She ended up becoming an auntie and a mum.
