The window to the left is full of local notices. When the website was proposed, somebody said "What do we need a website for, when we can get all the information we need at Moffats?"

Mr and Mrs Irvng of Nutberry Farm This photo must have been taken in the 50s in their living room. I don't know who took it. From about the age of 8, I spent about 2 weeks every summer at Nutberry. Those were wonderful holidays for me, a town girl, but who has always loved country life and animals. The Irvings were so good to me I wouldn't have missed a summer holiday in Kirkpatrick for worlds! Mrs. Irving and the Boss, those are the names we used for them, treated me like family, and I loved them dearly. At that time Willis Mclellan was working there and I had great fun with her too. Of course I kept in touch with them, visiting them in Canonbie after they retired from farming, and was happy that my two children loved to visit them there too and gobble up the delicious scones and apple tarts that Mrs. Irving was still making.
Mrs Thirkettles Class That's me in the corner! I was probably caught talking as usual. Spent most of my time in the corner as not to disturb the others......I still managed
