By the time I got back to the swings, the wind had picked up sufficiently to close down the swings and the big wheel. Hey ho…

I came up to Edinburgh to go to a funeral. The father of a dear friend passed away at the age of 92 - married for 65 years, father of four sons,  a well-respected member of his chosen profession and a stalwart member of both his church and his choice of political party. Compared to the funeral earlier this year, this was a celebration of a long life well lived. 

There will be swings another time.
