It gives me great pleasure to feature another story from our most loyal supporter, Ronald Mackay. This is his sixth contribution to the 2024 Creative Writing Showcase and his fourth in the Memoir category.
I am sure you will find Ronald's latest recollections as fascinating as I have.

Ronald Mackay
Ronald has always enjoyed physical work. He started by labouring on farms at weekends and during school holidays in his native Scotland and then in the banana plantations of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. He paid his way through his studies at Aberdeen University in the ‘60s by working on building sites and once, excavating rock from a tunnel.
Alongside his professional work, Ronald has farmed in Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Canada. Today, he lives with his Peruvian wife in Voorburg, the Netherlands and looks after the garden.
The short stories in his recently published “Windows On My Worlds” tells more about his work experiences around the world. LInk: mybook.to/WindowsOnMyWorlds
