I moved from Glasgow to Orkney when we got married, one day on a visit home we were sitting in the food court of the sauchiehall centre when we became acutely aware of being stared at by two women who were sitting together. Eventually they came over one asked me if i was the postmans daughter and the other asked my husband if he was the joiner. the older lady had lived one street away from my home and my father had been her postman, while the younger, her daughter in law had gone to school with my husbands sister.
