This is a lovely 'About me' article Lorna.

Hello … this is Fred … first time call.

Thank you for recently choosing to follow me. I really appreciate that.

I checked out your Medium home page; found this article; liked your style and decided to ‘follow’ YOU.

One of my favourite songs (that keeps coming up in my mind) is: "I Belong to Glasgow".

I'm not from Glasgow! I just love the lyrics.

I live in Australia but was born and raised in England's northwest - in Oldham.

Like you, I'm an old-timer (in the eyes of others I hasten to add - I know that we two don't think along those lines ... do we?!)

If you haven’t yet seen my ‘All you need to know about Fred’ article (pinned a-top my home page), I invite you to check it out. It has links to everything you need to know about me and my stories, including a quick index. One of the index categories is 'Family Fun Stories' and the top one there is about me and my age. Hope you like it.

Nice to meet you on Medium Lorna. I look forward to reading more of your stories there.

Wishing you well on your continuing writing journey.

Fred
