Back in the town

I was back in the town for a few days(5th-8th this month),as always it was good to be home. Strange to see the town hall enclosed in scaffolding, should be a terrific venue when it is completed. I think someone should go to the shop premises in Longrow South which is being used to show the fundraising total for the town hall and tidy the window ,looks terrible.
I was a bit surprised when I went to have a look at the new pontoons, to be honest I was expecting more.
Glenside is looking so much better after the face lift. I noticed a lot of empty flats over John St./Princess St. someone said they were getting renovated, while someone else said they were all getting demolished. Personally I think if it was time for Parliament Place to go then the same must be said of John St./Princess St.
Said hello to Davie P.Saturday night in The Fiddlers.God the music is loud in there, but I knew that from the last time. Fewer and fewer places to go of an evening now with pubs closing ,and of course The White Hart.
So near on 46 years since we left, been back every year,sometimes twice or even three times a year, certainly not what it was way back then.Still we call it home, Catherine and me.
