Hi Mary and Mary,
Hope yer gardens are bloomin’ and the two o’ yeese huve stoaped bein’ quite so obstinate.
Thanks furr tryin oanyhoo,
It is definitely a collectors item, as ah cannie get a haud o a copy.
Which is unusual, that even ma connections dinnae huve wan.
I did get the Cliff Hanley film frae the 70s mind you, wey aw the Greenock schoolweans singin’ it, but so far that’s it.
Which is a guid wee find as well.
Ah gote it in DVD format frae an Edinburgh freen, a freebie anaw.
Oor favourite price.
I have just arrived back in the Mount Flo flat a 5 pm this evening.
I checked oot the Barras for you Wee Yin, and decided that oor spare copy of “Glimpses” wiz better than Joe’s.
So if you pey furr the coffee and gey us a lift frae Bristol tae the Book fare, you kin huve the tome.
Ferr exchange is nae robbery, as we say in Bath.
Will be in touch
Davie
