red squirrel tales

A rainbow

A sad day but filled with warmth and laughter at memories of a kind kind man.
A highland funeral, beautiful in its tradition and incredibly moving in its simplicity. Uncle Bertie always brought a smile to my face with his warm wit and his true kindness. The church filled and the A9 stopped as the village walked him one last time along the main street testament to the man he was.
I spent so many childhood summers,weekends and hogmanays in Golspie but life takes you away from these formative places. To return evokes memories and seeing faces I recognise but people I no longer know years on from my childhood reminds me of the time passing that I don't always see in my own everyday face.
A moving day.
