"Scion was a Canadian who purely loved England where he lived half of each year."
I have a vague memory that Scion, like me, was born in Glasgow.
And if so, I'm glad his lum reeked lang.
He also served in the RAF, quite a few years after my father who was a navigator in Wellingtons and Lancasters in WWII.
