Dear Father Donald,

How kind of you to show interest in my Borderland sketches and paintings.
I attach a copy of the Canonbie Peel Tower painting, and one of the Tarrus river mentioned in the programme (plus another sketch of Jedburgh and Sweetheart). We had some wonderful days out in those years when Edith could drive a car, and these sketches keep all those memories alive.

Thank you!

Dear Father Donald,

Thank you for these photographs - I do so wish that I had seen this programme. Br Barry has grown in stature each and every year, and will have been an excellent ambassador. Years ago, when Edith was well and able to drive a car,
I learnt of Nunraw from the custodian at Jedburgh Abbey! We would visit the three abbeys,      
Jedburgh Abbey














Melrose, Jedburgh, and Dryburgh, where I made many sketches; 
also Sweetheart, which I found enchanting
Lovely memories of days listening to the secrets of the stones!

With my love in the Risen Lord,
William

Dear Father Donald,  

The URL you gave worked perfectly, thank you! It was a real delight to see the whole programme - I had done a painting year's ago that included the peel tower featured in the programme, and Edith and I have visited many of the film locations. So, a double delight!

Thank you!
William
