The Grandfolks are, well… grand. Both Grandpa and Grandma have recovered from a tough year of varying illnesses and have been swimming in the sea and generally disregarding their age on all accounts. A shining example to us all, they are no less adventurous now than they were more than my life\u2019s years ago.<\/p>\n

Grandma humoured me in laying out all her Liberty print shirts, most older than I, and a few other patterned gems. Much gentile perplexity at my Iphone, which I would randomly hold in front of day-to-day objects to capture their image and exclaim at their beauty or interest.<\/p>\n

To me, these objects are little windows into a past I never lived through- whereas to my grandparents I am just taking photos of their bathroom wall or old curtains.\u00a0I know it tickled Grandma, though I\u2019m not sure she understood why I was doing it.<\/p>\n

My brother and I returned to an old childhood haunt to walk in around two hours what took us an entire day when we were children. I really must be a grown up now.\u00a0The banks we walked along were made up of a warm yellow clay from which I fashioned a marble, hardened and dried between finger and thumb. A reminder of the place.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Now that I have returned to Edinburgh, my home for so many years, I cast my eyes over my trinkets and wonder if my granddaughter will one day exclaim over their beauty or if they will ever even last that long. (or if I will have a granddaughter\u2026 too many ifs).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tomorrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two studio visits! One down at the bottom of Easter Road and the other over in Canonmills. This time tomorrow I will be at work in the basement bar of the Traverse but I\u2019ll have a better sense of my life one way or the other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bellow, a few of said photographs from the Grandfolks.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

The colour seemed to not have faded over the years, though I cannot vouch for their comfort<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
