Great morning talking to S2 pupils about career development some good prospects there.

Happy Burns night first time I am actually in Ayr on the same day on separate business. Burns square where there was a ceremony by the local Burns society and drove straight past Burns cottage where Robert Burns was born 25 January 1759.

Delighted to have confirmation that I will be working at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Excellent talk with the pupils today about local business. This followed visits to Menstrie Primary, Park Primary and Alva Academy. The pupils were interested, asked lots of great questions and one team got all 7 questions right in the quiz. Look forward to another visit soon.
