So, having mentioned the Cathedral last entry, I did have a photo of the high alter but somehow managed to delete it !! Sorted. having taken a couple of pictures , without the flash on , I discovered that they did not allow such acts within .
Now, this morning , after yet another shocking night i was up sharp and had another little run to the "skip" to empty the boot again, then down to The Bush to distribute seasons cheer, Popped into the local Tesco, which was not all that busy.
All changed and headed off to the town with Mrs B. who was dropped off at The Mercat, where after being locked out for two hours the staff had got in , I think they thought that the Christmas fairy would get help for them. I headed off , and on passing Lothian and Borders Police HQ at Fettes Ave., spotted lots of activity as the fire brigade were sitting at the roadside and an ambulance by the sports field. Next , the Air Ambulance helicopter appeared and landed beside the road where after a few minutes they transferred a patient into the ambulance.
Just as I headed off two pleasant young Policewomen appeared on their trusty mounts, I got a smile rather than a clattering !!
Stopped off to see Uncle Walter, Mary and Sheila at Bangholm for a cuppa and a catch up - ended up with a big bag of apples which David @ fiance will use to make apple tarts.
left the car and walked along to the crematorium, passing this cheery little snowman on the way.
There was large crowd present for the funeral of Thomas Moffat Ross, some having travelled considerable distances. The Korean veterans had a guard of honour and a standard bearer present in view of Tom's background and involvement .
Stopped to pick up Mrs. B and headed home - back to Tesco's to get the things I had forgotten this morning , before settling for the night, watching all the golden oldies on Christmas Top of the Pops; and then, my hero, role model "Rab C Nisbet".
