Hello, this is the game podcast from The Times and I'm Natalie Sawyer. It is a warm

welcome back to me old mucker Gregor Robertson. Gregor how are you how was your break?

I'm very well than that, thank you. Oh, it's brilliant, yeah.

Back from a couple of weeks of glorious sunshine in the highlands. I'm not even saying that with any hint of irony.

No, no rain at all. No, it was absolutely glorious, yeah. Did I think of the North Coast 500

where it begins in Inverness and you drive around the kind of coastal route of of Northern Scotland. in the

numberness and you drive around the kind of coastal route of Northern Scotland and it was stunning, yeah, absolutely, really beautiful.

That sounds lovely.

Do you have to do it in a particular amount of time or you can just take it naturally?

Well you can, there's people, some people do it in very quick time.

There's people who hire like vintage cars.

There was one point, there was two Maseratis, a Ferrari and a portion of the living behind me trying to overtake my little mini.

So, no, we drove kind of half of it and then stopped for five days in a wee cottage and then

did the rest on the way back so beautiful.

Sounds lovely.

Good to be back though.

It is good to have you back Gregor and joining us today it is Tom Roddy.

Tom how have you been keeping?

I'm good, thank you very well thanks now.

We missed, we missed Gregor last week, didn't we?

I had Northern Tom tearing in to me from my England thing,

so I'm very pleased to have Gregor back.
