Graham Family Christmas 2024

The American Graham family spent Christmas in Utah. They drove 750 miles from Saratoga in California to Mendon in Utah, where Leslies's father Carlo lives. They spent a day at Beaver Mountain near Mendon and the kids enjoyed a days Snowboarding while Mum and Dad skied.

Plenty of snow

Meeting John at Lockerbie

On Wednesday Tom and I met up with John at Lockerbie Station for a last minute organised walk on Eskrigg Nature Reserve. It had been planned as an exchange of Langholm calendars for John. We used to walk every Wednesday and John would visit Langholm to see his mum when she was alive, but now it’s much less frequent although still most enjoyable. 

Posing for photos on a nice seat half way round Eskrigg.  

The view towards the creamery. A lovely walk in great company. We had a nice lunch in Cafe 91 and then John got the train back to Edinburgh and we headed home.
