I enjoyed reading the two volumes of her autobiography ('Blue Above the Chimneys' and 'Roses Round the Door') a few years ago, and it was quite a moving experience to see this lovely house where Christine lived so happily.

There's an obituary here
Mainly photos - old and new - of my favourite places around the wonderful River and Firth of Clyde!

Hi Gerry, many thanks for this! Yes, I must admit I brightened the sky in the flag one! Perhaps I should put the original photo there instead as I've overdone it a bit. The others are natural though, believe it or not! Yes, it's been raining everywhere - also here in Wales of course - it never stops for long! Hope all's well with you and I hope to catch up with your photos soon too,
Jane
