We always enjoy visits to Balmerino to see the “Taylor Clan” and love having them to stay with us making many happy memories. Guy being the youngest is closest in age to his Atkinson cousins and always found time to teach them a trick or two in the swimming baths and especially on the computer. Annual visits to ‘The Pavilion Cantonese restaurant’, to celebrate Grandma’s birthday were always enjoyed, trying to master chopsticks and seeing who could manage a desert after sampling the Dynasty Banquet and all it’s courses.
Guy stayed in “Wester Kirkton” with us for David’s wedding and it was here we saw his great attention to detail come to the fore, belt, buckle, shoes and sporran all in pristine condition before venturing up to “Laurel Cottage” with extras in case David had forgotten something. If I remember correctly it was socks that saved the day!
When Guy found the travel bug we enjoyed the super photographs he began to take and looked forward hearing about his adventures. When on one of his travels the name “Chelsi” cropped up we were very excited to meet her and when we did it was lovely to see what a great couple they made.
We had a big celebration for Matthew’s 21st birthday where Guy introduced Chelsi to the wider family, Spice came along too and soon found her special comfy chair in Craigmore where she is always welcome, with her owners too of course!
