Not the best of times.

Today was not a good day. We attended the funeral of my wee cousin Alison. Hundreds of people came to offer their respects and support.

Like every family funeral, what started as a day of deep sorrow ended up a much more like a meeting of old friends, and this was no different.

Not good but not all bad.

I took this picture in the Fairfield Working Men's Club, a place of some significance to all our families , where we all retired for a meal and a chat.
