Beryl Simpson, Jackie and Valerie Irvine

1990 Beryl Simpson, Jackie and Valerie Irvine.
Jackie with his hat on all ready to head away up to Lyness from his home in Keig, Aberdeenshire.
What a miss he is - fine folk and good times had by a lot of folk at Haybreck after the Lyness Social Club and at the New Year. Great hosts but I always left the mutton soup for other to enjoy :-)

We used to take apart the air raid shelters near Lyness and use the concrete sections as fence strainers. Jackie used to carry them on his back. He thought he was a match for the Hereford bull too! Very strong.
