Quintin Jardine's blog

On several occasions I’ve had the privilege of being a guest on Fred Macaulay’s excellent morning show on BBC Radio Scotland. Fred’s a smashing bloke, what you see and hear is what he is, and so when I was asked to go on last Wednesday to talk about As Easy as Murder  and I couldn’t, I was gutted. I had two problems; one, I was travelling to Spain that day, and two, I had a cold so bad that if I’d done it on the way to the airport I’d have sounded like Tom Waits. I thought that was that, but they were kind enough to offer me a second date. Not only that they’ve gone to the trouble of booking me into a studio in Girona. So, on Monday morning, I’ll be in a room in Gran Via de Jaume I, between 11:30am and 12 noon, an hour later in Spain. Fred will be on holiday next week, but his stand-in will be Stephen Jardine (no relation). Looking forward to it.
