And of course, we found ourselves in very cosy Glaswegian pubs all candlelit and decorated for the holidays, which is always a wonderful thing. And as the year is winding down, we’re a little pensive and somewhat wistful about the year gone by, but also terribly excited about the adventures the new year and this beautiful life will bring…
