I’ve always wondered what happened to my old flame, Gavin McRae – it was the two of us that went to Scotland as well as his home just north of Manchester.

Gav was a riot to be around, maybe sometimes a bit too wild for me, but we had some good times for sure.  He had been working in Africa before we met and then when he was traveling in Canada he met a friend of mine in Toronto.  She called me up as he was leaving to head West, and she said she was sending him my way so he had someone to contact once he got to the west coast (I was living in Vancouver at the time).

He eventually showed up and we hit it off right away.  I took him home for Christmas so he wouldn’t be all alone for the holidays and the rest is history.  We stayed with me for a while, we took a couple of trips here and there, Scotland being one of them.

But old flames become old flames at some point, and we lost touch.  I remember him randomly phoning me on New Year’s Eve about a year after we split and left a hilarious message, but I didn’t know where he was or how to get a hold of him anymore, and I haven’t heard from him since.

I’m sure he’s having a blast somewhere in the wide world; always up for an adventure was our Gav!  I’d love to hear from him again and find out what he’s been doing all these years.  Did he ever get married?  Did he keep traveling?  Did he go back to Uganda again?  Where are you Gav?
