Seton Sands Caravan Park

Saturday, 28th June

Quiet day, but unexpected visitors. My second cousin Janette Millar from Hamilton and her husband. They were checking their caravan at Seton Sands. Had a good chat about old times when the caravan park was just lots of old huts, railway carriages etc and there was always a huge influx of visitors from the West at the "Glasgow Fair" - still is I think. Her husband is a keen gardener. Still grows all his own vegetables. Most I can muster now is some lettuce amomg the roses.Very tasty though.
Took some photos of the garden.

Friday, 27th June

What a pleasant surprise to see John's pal Jimmy Ralph on the Scottish news last night and his photo in the paper today. John would have been so interested in him making the replacement "Whale's Jaws" for Berwick Law. Must phone Pat and ask if I can speak to the TV personality! Also good last week to read about Bill Bailie's M.B.E. for services to music. Very well deserved. Bill is so unassuming.

Usual Friday, shopping etc, but lovely when Kay and the boys arrived. They were very excited as they'd brought part of my birthday present. A big spotted cup and saucer (for a plant) to match the other spotty dishes in the kitchen! They were very serious about telling me how to look after it! Got them to help me water the tubs in the garden.Of course when we used the hose at the front, Robert just couldn't resist spraying all over the place! Great fun!

Choir at night. Last one for the summer. Edith had brought delicious cakes as usual.

My word it has been such a long time since I have been to Seton Sands. I used to go with the family back in the day! and I can't remember us having a bad day of weather, as we spent a lot of time around the beaches apart from one day trip upto Edinburgh Castle.
