I ran across this fantastic column from Glasgow's Herald:

The beauty that matters is always on the inside

By COLETTE DOUGLAS HOME
Great article, Katherine. Really, really lovely.
A tangential aside--not giving anything away from the article itself, I hope--possibly for Americans who are not aware: the writer's surname,
Douglas Home (or Douglas-Home, pronounced
Hume ) is an old and distinguished one in the UK, and in Scotland. (And now all the world knows
Susan Boyle is a Scot!)
Collete Douglas Home (as she styles herself) is the wife of
Mark Douglas-Home, former editor of
The Herald; he left the paper in 2005 as he was unhappy (it was believed) because of management's budget cuts.
His uncle was
Sir Alec Douglas-Home, British Prime Minister 1963-1964. For anybody is interested, google and wikipedia awaits.
