Remembering a good friend

We were watching the memorial to Doddie Weir when Iain’s message came through that Neil A had very sadly passed away.

I was chatting to Mum a little later when she reminded me of the time that Neil and Dave had my aunt and gran, who worked in the bakery not far from the school, in a tizz after they told them that they had both been expelled. It was all a joke of course but I can just imagine their reaction, a clip around the ear was probably threatened but the relief would have had them laughing.

I last saw Neil in 2019 when we sat close to this window in the Tiq.

Happy memories of a good and fun friend.
