although I can't dictate that, I hope that is how it turns out.
I for one will miss you. I and my family will be sad to see you go. They've painted not just the town but most of the country red for you!
I think your heart was in the right place, though I did not always, and I think you really cared, even about people like us, in the Highlands of Scotland.
I hope when it's all over, that you and your family come home to Fife and enjoy a retirement.
We don't live in the East anymore, and it will all I can do to keep us here for now. But my husband and my elder two are from the East in Edinburgh, and all their family from Fife and the Perthshire Highlands, who accepted me, a foreigner, as their own when they were under no obligation to do so.
You are so welcome up here.
The Queen Mother, daughter of the Earl Strathmore said, 'Duty is the rent you pay on life.'
You took that to heart, and regardless of what others may say, some of us believe that, maybe even the Queen!
Best of luck to you and yours and just to know, you are not without your supporters, Mr Brown (I think that is how he is called but forgive me if not).
Well done. And, as Churchill said, 'Keep b*ggering on.'
