I love the festival: it’s a great time for bumping into old friends, and couples I’ve married. A few nights back, coming home from Fringe by the Sea, I met Mark who I married to Lorna down at Cardrona in 2012, but then as Mrs. M and I left the Book Festival we met Tim … Continue Reading

Catherine and Alastair’s story proves that distance is no obstacle to romance.
