You may know that in Scotland this year it's all about 'homecoming' or in typically tourist terms a way to encourage visitors by making them feel connected to the country; it's in their blood! Now I can be as cynical as I like about such blatant attempts for drumming up finances but I partook in this notion for all of five minutes for Padawan, I 'freed' him from the US and brought him home. It was the tartan ( I can't bring myself to say plaid, it feels thoroughly un-Scottish to do so!) I found at him at SeaPinks and I knew what I had to do.............
He arrived and as I unwrapped the postal packaging I could hear a faint muttering; a tiny trilling coming from inside the box. I put my ear close, "Hello" I said. Carefully I lifted off the lid and....
look who was inside. My little Padawan wren. "I'm home!" he declared and he was. He shall be my little Scottish apprentice, my little Padawan learner. I shall teach him the ways of the (Scottish) Force and we shall be happy together forever.......
