IF you had told me at the beginning of this year I’d be working at the paper my grannie has bought since the dawn of time, I’d think you were probably not of sound mind. But as many of my colleagues have put better than me, 2020 has been a strange old year. I arrived at the Glasgow Times in September this year – in the middle of one of the most challenging times for journalists around the world. One of the first stories I covered for the paper still remains my favourite to this day. My editor had sent me over a tip about some planters in a West End park and how the council had demanded their removal.
