Happy Days

Although not born in Sanquhar, I used to visit a family there about 45 years ago. They stayed above what is now Norman's Furniture shop. The lady was called Nellie, can't remember her husband, but they had a son called Ivy. None of my relations can remember them. If any one rembers them can they post a reply please as I would like to know it was not all a dream!!!

Building The Wooden Bridges At The Waterfall In 1985

Was tasked (with my fellow sappers) with the building of 2 wooden bridges with my colleagues of 103 Field Squadron RE. I would love to know if they are still standing and what the area where they were built in is called - some day I intend to visit this place and re-visit some happy memories. I remember it was a few miles outside Sanquhar but we went into Sanquhar each night to sample the pubs.
