Registry Office

This afternoon I went with Mum to register Dad's death at the City Chambers. Being on the Royal Mile, I've passed by many times without going through the archway into the courtyard. It was cheering to hear a newly married couple short of some document being told, "Don't worry, you're still married!", and to see a couple leaving after registering the birth of the baby being carried in a sling.

After seeing Mum to her bus home, I dropped down to Waverley Station to wait for my train to Manchester.
