Ellon Reminiscence Group




A few of the members from the Ellon Reminiscence Group.

I had a lovely time on Friday with the members of Ellon Reminiscence group who meet once a month in the library. We read a selection of poetry with an Autumnal theme, followed by a couple of short stories.
The group were particularly interested in listening to stories written in their own Doric dialect. A tale (from local author Mary Munro) about the 'tattie pickin' of yesteryear provoked a lot of discussion and evoked memories of a past way of life.
We had a very pleasant meeting and a lovely 'fly-cup' to finish off the afternoon. A return visit is planned...
