I got the coolest birthday present yesterday from my good friend Becky. She and I had talked about how one of our favorite movies was “Local Hero,” where the oil exec from Texas goes to Scotland to buy up a town for a new refinery. Turns out, she and her husband have visited the location of the film several times. So as a present, she gave me some shells from the “Local Hero” beach.
An amazing present from an amazing person. Thanks again, Becky.
That is so cool! That is one of my favorites movies, too (along with Gregory’s Girl, by the same director).
Sweets to the sweet! And to your friends & readers . . . if you haven’t seen this one, please consider it . . . it’s dear and wise and funny, and puts “what’s important in life” in perspective.
