Hello to all!

Originally from just outside Glasgow, I have now lived in the UAE for 10 years or so.

As a kid I used to visit Tam Shepherds and be enthralled by Roy Walton, which gave me the magic bug.

After years away, I picked things up again a couple of years ago and I am completely hooked once more - coupled with the card collecting bug!

I've managed to gather a fairly diverse collection so far, and enjoy gleaning as much knowledge as I can from  you guys!

Hope all are well.

Gary

Hello Gary, welcome to the forum. Looking forward to hearing your opinions. Love it when that card collecting bug surfaces. :)

Welcome Gary. Ahh Scotland is my second love, although I've never been Glasgow. I've been Aberdeen, Edinburgh and I'm currently in Gleneagles working at the Ryder Cup :)
And I'll be in UAE come January, we have family in Dubai which I'll be visiting.
Any reason why you moved to UAE? Whereabouts?

Thanks for the welcome Nurul - a small world indeed!  It was work that brought me over here - I am based and live in Abu Dhabi, but also have a team in Dubai so I am through there a couple of days each week.  As you will know January is a great time for a visit, the weather is spot on!
