The first time I visited Glasgow was in 1946 when I was six years old. We
stayed with family friends in the tenements near the railway but I believe
all these houses were torn down many years ago. My grandfather and his family
lived in Springburn road. He had remarried and I had five "aunts" around the
same age as myself. I met quite a few young ones of my own age and I have
fond memories of my grandfather buying me toffee apples on what seemed like
every street corner. Also the first time I encountered Licorice Allsorts
something I have never lost my taste for! I have lost touch with that
branch of the family long ago but the memories of these days visiting in
Glasgow stay with me.
