I see you are online at the moment Sandra.
Not through to North Berwick this weekend or is it too windy? It is almost gale force here.

Good morning Laird. Not on the forum yet, bit of a sleepy head this morning. Of course, it's Sunday, time for a lie in.

As I am as far away from Scotland as it is possible to be without being on the return trip - there has never been anyone else on line at the same time, Nuff said from New Zealand.

Hi Laird, are you still there?

Looks like he has gone for his 'sugar pops'.

Sorry, Ken, but when I`m told my coffee is ready, well, I`m only a male of the species!

TO Margaret Walker NZ
WE may as well be on a different planet, .. but I noticed you there.

PS Did you used to live on Arbroath Road number 85-ish ?? (--between Eden Street and Baffin Street (opposite the Baxter Park Church which is no longer there:)or was that another Ms Walker?

My maiden name was Elmslie, and we lived in Victoria Road - sadly most of the Vic is long gone and I doubt if I would recognise the area these days. As I had an aunt in Sprighill I used to visit the area regularly, also another aunt in Glebe Street. Baxter Park tennis courts was a favourite haunt when I was young ... a long, long time ago.

Hullo Margaret in NZ Victoria road is on google streetview. You will get to see great changes. Went to Comet at Kingsway East last week found Grossets the butchers still on the go having moved from near to Morgan St in the Arbroath rd The block that had the shop in it along with the HAPARANDA came in 1972

Hi Roslin, have had a look at the "new" Victoria Road and can only see a very few bits left that I remember. I am still ever hopeful of a final trip home, but it gets less likely the older I get! Old age is not for wimps.

I'M HERE dAVE.
