Growing up.

Here’s a rewritten version of your statement for clarity and flow:

I was born in 1961 and grew up in Paisley with my parents and two older brothers, Jim and Robert. We were born just 16 months apart, so we were very close as kids. We lived in a one-bedroom flat on Seedhill Road next door to my gran, with an outside toilet in the tenement close. When I was four, just before starting school, we moved to a council flat in Foxbar. It felt like luxury: three bedrooms, a huge loft, an inside toilet, a separate kitchen, and incredible views. From our top-floor flat, we could see across Paisley, Glasgow Airport, the River Clyde, the Kilpatrick Hills and beyond. It was here that my real love for art began.
