Graduation...

Here I am graduating from the Saltire Foundation Fellowship programme. It's been one heck of a year, but as typing this is all that stands between me and more champagne I think I'll keep this brief.

You see me here with Crawford Gillies (chairman Scottish Enterprise) and Peter Lederer (chairman Gleneagles, VisitScotland and the Saltire Foundation). I'm holding my wee trophy and certificate, and laughing because the photographer asked me to crouch a little so I didn't look too tall!

I was very proud to be there, and I am very grateful to the foundation for giving me this opportunity, and I was pleased to have my parents and the lovely MrsCyclops to celebrate with me, not least because I couldn't have done it without them.

Champagne time now...
