At the end of February, we held our bi-annual class lunch. 12 of us were very privileged to be invited to our old alma mater, now the St Margaret’s Care Home. We were royally received and shown round the former St Margaret’s House, Morton Link and No 13. It was fascinating to see the new layout and to recall memories of former class rooms and teachers. The staff plied us with many questions about how it had been laid out during our school days (no Morton Link then). We were then entertained to an excellent lunch in “No 13” with much chat about our ‘happy’ school days. Our warm thanks to all at the Care Home who looked after us so well. The question is “Were they touting for future residents”? It seemed a happy environment and I am sure can be highly recommended.
… and now we are moving on … to our Golden Reunion. Over 20 of us will be assembling at Dryburgh Abbey Hotel in the Borders early in May for a 2-3 night jolly. We are delighted that classmates from America, Australia, Luxembourg and Norway are joining those from all points north, south, east and west – from Orkney to London – for a few days of re-bonding and reminiscing. It should be a memorable occasion and we just hope the Borders know we are coming and that the sun will shine for us.
