Cold Feet? Muddy Feet
Scottish Summer Swamps Mairi has got a very low tolerance to cold feet; I could happily wear flip-flops all year round. Mairi is genuinely upset if the temperature of her feet drops by even a fraction of a degree below the average temperature of ‘slipper heaven’ whereas I couldn’t care less.
Cold Feet? Hey! Come and See How Good I Look!
Edinburgh Scenes
Some still scenes from the forthcoming “Transformation” film for The Faith Mission Bible College in Edinburgh…the most desirable city in the UK…apparently.
