The New Weegie

Felicity Parsons

In July 2013 I moved to Glasgow after 28 happy years in London. (That's most of my adult life.) The reason for my move? Well, I felt like a change and I've always had a soft spot for Glasgow.

I'm a writer specialising in architecture and engineering. I also provide writing skills courses for architects and - in a joint venture (Fund Writing) with writer and journalist Fiona Rintoul - fund managers. I already do a fair amount of work in Scotland and I hope to do more as I become established here.

This blog will record my thoughts on my adoptive city as I get to know it better, chart my highs and lows as I settle into my new home and perhaps allow me to dip a tentative toe into the independence debate as the referendum approaches.

I'm writing this in my bright, spacious office. I've just had lunch in my sun-drenched dining kitchen. And if I weren't in the middle of having a new cornice installed, this evening I'd probably be entertaining friends in my palatial front room. After a few drinks, I might even organise an impromptu ceilidh in the hall.
