Having a break

I found Noosa Community Radio 101.3FM on a search for a local community radio station. I was already a presenter with a community broadcaster in Redcliffe, Qld. At the time I was living occasionally at our beach shack at Marcoola Beach with my wife, Julie.
I was retired with a free timetable so I took up the opportunity to do the presenter course.
It was a good course and my special thanks go to Bob Owen, my mentor on the broadcast panel. It was fun.
I was born in Forfar, Scotland, although I lived in Brechin, Angus. I remember my primary teacher, a severe Miss MacGregor…she taught us us proudly how we trounced the English at Bannockburn in 1314. Later I found my contemporary English pupils had no knowledge of Scotland.
My ports of call were Barnoldswick, Lancashire, London before the big wheel was built and Brisbane. I have worked in technical support positions in pathology, school education, nurse education and teacher education. I am also handy with a camera and I collect books, mainly about military history. I often write letters to the local newspaper. We live such complex lives.
The Celts left us with many wonderful works of art from the silence of the grave.
We can now rejoice with music and song about those lands of Celtic culture.
Join me and rekindle your heart felt thoughts for those people and places, some across the sea, for auld lang syne.
Slainte mhath.
