The Golden Neep IC

Congratulations to my dear husband on his appointment to Head of the Scottish Office for the Ministry. I could not be more proud of you, nor more pleased and hopeful for the future of Scotland under your sure guidance.

Congrats Da! You're the most ostensibly Scottish person I know and it finally paid off!

[Parkin/Miracles]

YES DA! How are we celebrating you becoming the equivalent of the magical King of Scotland?

(I kid I kid)

(But you know, just between us we can pretend for the day)

Seriously Da, congrats! Big move up! Please remember the (once) little people who helped you to the top. Or well...remember the once little people you had take too much care of is more accurate.

[Study Group 91]
