    As I wandered down one aisle of the indoor market at the Barras, my eyes darting between knock-off trainers, flasks commemorating the wedding of Charles and Diana, dismembered kilt clad mannequins and everything in-between.

    Clare Cunningham with family at the Race For Life (Image: Supplied) How often do you see your whole family in the same place at once? Regardless of how hard you try, you tend to find that you only get everyone together if there’s a big life event: whether it be happy or sad, or in this case – somewhere in between.

    Travel in Scotland just isn't affordable (Image: Pixabay) My friend introduced me to an app the other day that allows you to tick off any countries you've been to across the world.

Really chuffed that I've returned to my hometown paper as a columnist and features writer for the brand-new Weekend @greenocktele! Hearing I've not changed much since my column headshot 10-years-ago is a delight... Thanks to @_gillmurphy for the opportunity! Buy a paper! 🗞⭐️ https://t.co/sLNKUjaR7X
