We had such a fantastic evening last night with ! We talked with her about her autobiography, "Frankly" and she shared stories of her time as First Minister and answered some great questions from the audience.

Nicola was kind enough to take selfies and do book dedications for everyone who wanted one, and so many of you commented to us upon leaving that you had a wonderful night so thank you everyone who came along!

If you weren't able to make it, we have plenty of signed copies of the paperback of "Frankly" which is published today!

Bit for a different post today, here is a request from one of our customers about a just giving pledge:

"This is my 10 year old son Francesco who is the youngest helper in the food bank in Dundee. He helps during school holidays prepare parcels for the families in need and his motto is no one should be without food not even pets!"
