<description>&lt;p&gt;I count Mark Jardine as a friend, and one of long standing. His has been a life committed to the service of others whether in his profressional life as a funeral director&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;or in his private life where, among many things he has been a bereavement counsellor and is founder of The People's Project. Mark's legacy though, will be in the creation of the Roucan Loch crematorium and woodland burial site https://www.roucanloch.co.uk/ it's a crematorium like no other and as we say in the podcast, it is very much one man's vision of how we should treat our loved ones on their final journey. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have a look at the Roucan Loch website by following this link https://www.roucanloch.co.uk/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

<description>As a young reporter watching Councillor Tom McAughtrie in action was fascinating. Over four decades he has been involved in some of the big decisions that have shaped not just the town of Dumfries but of the region as a whole. Over the years, and thanks to the the advent of social media, Tom and I have kept in touch and when I started doing these podcasts I immiediately thought Tom, with his strong views and opinions, would make a great subject and listening back to the result of the couple of hours we spent together I don't think I was wrong. You'll not be disappointed, Tom's views are as forthright as ever, especially when it comes to council officials working from home and Labour party complacency in the last decade and a half. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.
