Springs to mind
Last week Paul and I took advantage of our dwindling time frame to re-visit the Big Apple and gain free entry to lots of museums. I think I should apologise to Alison who had to sit through a rapid flick through of the entire contents of my SD card from the camera – just be…

Comical
I saw theses pictures today, if you know Dunfermline you will recognise the settings, very droll.

Pretty fittingly, since I and many others spent the whole of 2015 in The Land of I Don’t Know, we will never know, but for reasons…

Tree Roots
Report of our parents’ wedding. Mum wore Aunty Joan’s wedding dress. Double click to enlarge. This website was originally set up to share family photos and in the light of recent events there is going to be a bit more of that. Once again thank you to Marika for her genius idea. The…
