Room with a View

This is the view from the window of the room where my Scrabble club meets ~ Edinburgh Castle in the evening sunshine...

...and to the left, you can see Ramsay Garden (the white buildings), the spire of St. Columba's Church and the Church of Scotland Assembly Hall (the building with the scaffolding). The statue in the left foreground is to commemorate the Royal Scots Greys, who fought in the South African War.

Kevock Choir 40th Anniversary

The Kevock Choir was founded in 1967 by Alex Elrick MBE , and conducted by him for many years. A garden party to celebrate the anniversary was held in the grounds of Prestonhall, home of one of our members. The photo shows a highlight of the day, when past and present choir members joined together to sing All in the April Evening and Shenandoah, under the direction of our present conductor, Graham Lovett; a memory to treasure, along with the many others the Kevock Choir has given us over the years.

Two days after this happy celebration, Alex Elrick died, having been ill for some time. Alex, I'm sure you'll soon have the heavenly choir sounding better than it ever has before.
