As you get older, only two things bring the family together......Weddings and Funerals. IF you have the inclination, go to the funeral simply to meet and talk with your Scottish family and relations. Assuming your sisters are still there, look upon this as an opportunity to see them, along with all those cousins, Aunts and Uncles you would otherwise not get round to seeing if you just "popped" up there for a visit.

When I moved North 4 years ago, I failed to notify most of my dads relatives even though I had no grudge against them, my dad died many years back and I just seemed to lose contact with them.

I would love to catch up with the gossip, some have probably died, others are soldiering on....but as they do not know where I am, I cannot be told

So my advice is.................go for the gossip
