These days life can be a bit of a rollercoaster and at the weekend I had the experience of highs and lows as possibly never before.
On Saturday morning I attended the funeral of Mrs Mary Rose Crozier, mother of my friend Ed Crozier, the former President of the Scottish Rugby Union. She passed away just before Christmas at the age of 94. It was a sad occasion, of course, but in the beautiful surroundings of St Patrick’s Church, Dumbarton, I found the lovely service quite inspirational, especially the eulogy delivered by her son Sheriff Paul Crozier who meaningfully captured the qualities of this great Christian lady.
Later that day I kept a prior engagement and attended the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh. Thanks to the brilliance of Allan Stewart, Grant Stott, Jordan Young and company, I cheered up immensely and if you haven’t had a chance to see it, do yourself a favour and get a ticket.
