For the first time in over 20 years, I was in my mum’s hometown, sadly for a funeral. The husband of a cousin suddenly passed away due to a heart attack. They met as teenagers and had been a couple for 49 years. He was such a lovely man and as was said in the eulogy, no one had a bad word to say about him. I was glad to be there to support my cousin, but very sorry for his family.

Later on I went up to Edinburgh since I was halfway there.
