vivdunstan: Photo from our wedding in Langholm (martin)
I was awake a little today, so managed finally to go through some old things Mum gave me recently. Including many old photos. Lots of little me at school, especially primary school. Lots of Borders Schools Orchestra things, including a photo of us all. Lots of 1978 Melrose Festival photos - I was a train bearer. And some lovely graduation photos of Martin and me in 1994. Here's one of the more informal graduation photos. And after that is a photo of my granddad at the top of Melrose Abbey. He was the last in a long line of family beadles or church officers. Who, among other things, rang the abbey bell regularly.

We've just looked through all 77 he ended up with as the final batch! I loaded them all onto Facebook, and four onto Bluesky and Mastodon. But here are just a couple. He saw *so* many buzzards. And yes, that is a very famous lighthouse glimpsed in the distance, beyond Broughty Castle.

He was out with his camera all day, in mid/west Dundee, while our car had its annual service and MOT check.

Every week I check the descriptions Martin types into Flickr for his latest photos. Just got to this one:

"The east side of the southern end of the Seven Arches Viaduct in Monifieth viewed from in the Dighty Burn."

Yes, photo taken from _in_ the burn (river). He goes out on his walks wearing wellies and waterproof trousers, and usually ends up in the water!

This photo.
