Description
Tony Moscardini has exchanged life in a rain-lashed Scottish city packed with incident for the sun-baked predictability of a small medieval hilltop town in rural Italy.
He has given up onerous full-time employment in daily journalism and found fulfilment in photography and guerrilla film-making. More importantly, he has found what feels a lot like true love.
And yet, if he's being honest with himself, life in Castel di Colonia has also begun to feel a little bit dull.
So what will he find on his return to Glasgow for a weekend? Old foes? Long-forgotten disappointments? Fresh excitements? Overwhelming temptation?
Will the happier new Tony yield to his pessimistic former self?

Person
David Belcher lives in Glasgow and 'used to be in the papers' - as David likes to understate. In fact, David was an immensely popular and critically acclaimed cultural commentator as well as being responsible for some of the best Glasgow 'Herald Diary' entries over a number of years. Indeed, a weel kent name in Scotland!
His writing has appeared in everything from the Sunday Post to Marxism Today, the Glasgow Herald to the Dundee Evening Telegraph, Architects' Journal to the New Musical Express, the Radio Times to the Irish Weekly News.
Over the last 30 years, he has DJ'd in assorted Glasgow clubs and bars that no longer exist. More regularly, he ran the monthly suburban vintage vinyl club nights Soul Bowl and Thank Funk It's Friday.
