Crime writer was presenting ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4's Pick of the Week and, among her choices, were two programmes from ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland.

She kicked off the programme with an extract from How To Be A Respectable Woman - Susan Morrison's witty and telling portrayal of old fashioned Scottish values mixed with memories of the women she encountered when she was growing up.

Val also picked out What Happened Next? which featured Kat Marshall, who was living in Lockerbie on the night that Pan Am flight 103 fell from the sky. Kit went on to work with relatives of the American victims and her stories and descriptions are deeply emotional.

This is, of course, the season for looking back and the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland online team have also been at it. They've put together a list of the station's highlights from 2009, with links to photographs, audio, video and ven the odd blog or two. You can find that here.

I ought to jump on this bandwagon myself and select my favourite photographs from a year of blogging. Come back later and you'll see what I've decided. Bit it will be my choice, not yours, so don't expect any pictures of that pesky dog of mine.

POSTSCRIPT

OK...I've decided on this image from our SoundTown project at Alva Academy this year. It reminded me that the pupils from the school (and surrounding schools) managed to get a No. 1 hit single with their song The Haggis...raising thousands of pounds for Comic Relief in the process. Happy days.
