The Man of 2 Worlds: More than just a YouTube title......

If you’ve been following my recent creative shifts, you’ll have seen the moniker "Man of 2 Worlds" popping up. It’s a title I’ve given to a series of silent videos I'm in the process of creating, but as I sit here in the Ayrshire quiet, reflecting on where I am at 60, I’ve realised it’s much more than a branding exercise.

If Day Two was about "The Drift," Day Three was the "Grand Side-Track."

I woke up at the Clachaig Inn after another night of deep, mountain-air-fuelled sleep. One final, hearty Full Scottish breakfast later (the fuel tank was full, even if the wallet was about to take a hit), I pointed Dezzy Bee East. I was supposed to be heading home to Galston, but Glencoe wasn't quite finished with me yet.
