Today's the day ........................ to keep your spirits up

For the second year in a row the Drambusters Whisky Festival  in Dumfries became a victim of the Covid pandemic.

And despite the temperatures plummeting to minus degrees, the hardy gang of invited guests was full of good cheer.  Indeed, a very enjoyable evening was had by all .......................!
