The Boat House. At The Rougley Cottage, Scottish Borders. Oh boy …. so many memories for everyone. The year : 2001. The reason : Honeymoon of Mama and Dada. You can see Mama’s head in the lock as she’s swimming back to the boat house. And our friend Maggie Crisfield Walters is waiting to help her out of the lock, supported as you can see by two scotties on the edge of the decking. I wasn’t there ‘cos I wasn’t born till 2003, but Mama tells me it was THE most fantastic time (despite the fact that her own Mama had died 10 days earlier) – oh boy – what a memory ….. and now its all gone away. I try and comfort Mama, but she says “it is what it is, little man”. Thank goodness that me and Maggie Crisfield Walters (and Fabi of course) are still around to help out.

Mom says memories can be bitter-sweet. We’re not really sure what she means by that.

I’ve asked Mama what it means as well. She’s says not to worry, but to tell you to tell you Mom that she understands very well!

They probably have high rise apartments there now.

Fortunately I took Mama there on holiday in 2013 and it was still the same, but you never know what’s happened in the last 12 months!
