Many a happy hour I've spent in the Globe. As a "doonhamer" it's still a town I enjoy returning to. As a child I had friends who lived at the end of the road Burns lived in and when I was wee I thought somehow he was still there. As I grew older I realised it was just John Cairney I had seen on the telly making his way from the Globe to his home past my friends'house. Still it was a nice thought. When I lived in Annan I bought my fish suppers in the building where Burns wrote The Deil's Awa Wi The Exciseman. How's that for tradition - (being one myself and loving it as much as Burns did).
