Trying to look busy, 1982
Image by M McBey
Me, working in an office in Arbroath, Tayside, Scotland a good few years ago. As you see there were no computers in use in those days and even the telephone will seem strange to younger people.
Arbroath is a nice, historic town which gets visitors coming to buy a local delicacy, the "Arbroath Smokie" – a wood-smoked haddock which has a "Protected Geographical Indication" meaning only "Arbroath Smokies" that come from here can use that name.
The picture was taken shortly before I was transferred to work in the Orkney Islands and was used in a couple of local newspapers with a brief article reporting my leaving.
I don’t have thick curly hair any more and most of it has turned white…
