Also that year, Blantyre couple, Mr Joseph Kane of Burnside Crescent married Miss Grace Keenan of Kirkwall Avenue, their wedding taking place at St Joseph’s Church on Glasgow Road.

Sandy Wilkie The picture WAS in colour folks, honest – the wedding wasn’t colour cameras, just the Hamilton which hadn’t caught up! Thanks for reminding me this is a Ruby year!!

Catherine Paterson You just saved me working that out Sandy Wilkie xx

Anne Grogan I remember going up to the farm for milk and those darn geese chasing us down the lane. 🇨🇦

Sandy Wilkie I have an ex-pat Scot cousin here just now from Canada – she too doesn’t like the geese but I assure you and she, they are harmless really but excellent guard “dogs”!

Sandy Wilkie Btw Cathy, yours can’t be all that far away either!
