Am No’ Ready for That, by Pauline Kennedy -

A relatable family tale, with dark twists and no-nonsense Scottish humour.

Originally started in 2017, as a personal handwritten journal, when our mother was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and… well… here we are!

If this life story was a journey on the Flying Scotsman, the train departs from yesteryear station where laundry will be aired, continues through the 1980s and 90s, chugs over the next three decades and terminates at ‘present day’. Remember to visit the station’s gift shop and purchase the obligatory ‘see you Jimmy’ wigs or ‘I heart Scotland’ t-shirts.

‘Passengers’ are invited to peruse a collection of short stories post-diagnosis, the cast of which the reader will be all too familiar with. It’s an honest peek behind the net curtain into a life of a family dealing with a subject matter that directly and unwillingly affects ten million people… worldwide.

The final product is this memoir in honour of the ‘wee wumin wi’ the white hair’. A remarkable individual we are proud to call mum (and many other nouns… under our breaths).

Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster and above everything else, enjoy the ride! Scream if you wanny go faster! If not, Haud yer Wheest.
