The date would have been about 1975.

Next Thursday in Peebles, 11am, at Eastgate Theatre) I'm coming across some superb old photos of my family. This one isn't that old (probably 2015) and you can see my late mother, blurred, on her feet as always, on the right. She brought us all together like nobody has been able to since. You can also see my dear departed Dad who's at the back with a spoon in his eye.

From the left you can see Nikita, Lara, Jude, Kira, Charlotte (Muller Stuart), Luca, Angus, Stephanie, Alec, Cheyenne and Aidan.
