After three enjoyable years in Aberdeen's suburbs the work SD had been contracted to do came to and end and we were once more on the move. This time back to Glasgow where I opened a deep freeze shop and SD tried to sell insurance. A more unlikely job, selling insurance against a rainy day, for someone who had grown up in the mining industry where they took risks every day was never likely to be a success. While the deep freeze shop did well and I gave talks to several groups about how to save money with a freezer, SD mooned around, writing magazine articles which, in some casses, would only be paid for in eighteen months. While we had made good friends, I began to realise he needed to get back to the rough and tumble of mining and talked him into looking around. With both mothers alive, Australia was too far, SD said the Canadian mines were too remote and he looked at Africa again. This time I was determined to take my bits and pieces with me, including those cats.
