We’ve all experienced the emotion of walking into a room filled with complete strangers. Imagining all eyes will turn. Thankful that only a few do. Even more thankful when one of those strangers ‘understands’. Walks over and gives you a warm welcome smile and “Hello”.
Our journey to Brighouse Holiday Park is split in half. Beastie’s first sortie onto Scottish soil naturally leads us into Dumfries, home to ‘Burns House’ and mausoleum. Revered throughout Scotland and many parts of the globe. Universally recognised for his “Auld Lang Syne’. But for Mr & Mrs S, little else.
Within the hour, that changes. Receptionist Gerry (with a ‘G’) delights us with a warm and captivating verbal biopic of Bard Robbie’s life, death and works.
As we approach St Michael’s Church, Christine steps down. Keen to welcome us into what she knows will be a massive surprise.
