Sunday 18th July 1971


Iain, Anne and Peter Hoffmann with Gaga, 45 Durham Road Portobello

We went down to Nana’s and had a great Sunday roast dinner. In the afternoon Gaga took Anne; Iain and me down to the pitch 'n putt at Musselburgh. I'm not much of a player but it's a good game. We had our traditional John West Sunday tea of salmon bread 'n butter and home-made scones 'n buns. 


There's a certain timelessness about these Sundays at Nana and Gaga’s which we all enjoy. It's the best food we get all week but it's also about other things too. We tend to behave ourselves reasonably well; Porty is a wee change from Oxgangs; Nana and Gaga shower us with everything that is good; the house and garden are interesting and of course just being a Sunday makes it special too. 

After tea Gaga ran us back home to Oxgangs in the Singer Vogue. I tidied up our bedroom. Later on I was a bit bored so I went out on the bike for a wee contemplative ride up to Redford and back.
