Good luck to all the pupils who are starting school tomorrow. Mrs Anne Craig will be starting her first full year as Headmistress. Which year did you start P1 in Fyvie School and do you remember who the Head was?

Letter from Australia today, July 2019. Recalling visit to Fyvie 1991. Photo - Mr Hugh Taylor, second left, with Marr family. When we visited Fyvie in 1991 (for just 1 day) we made the Post Office our first "port of call" and although they were able to direct us to Ardlogie they had no knowledge of any Marrs then living in Fyvie, However they suggested we call on Mr. Hugh Taylor and assured us that he would welcome us just "dropping in." Something we were reluctant to do ...unknown to him and unannounced! However my sister and I did (leaving our daughters and husbands in the cars outside as didn't want a whole crowd descending on an unwary Mr. Taylor.) Mr. Taylor welcomed us so very warmly and insisted on warming us with wee drams (several of them!) The boys in the car missing out!! It was a cold and wet day so Michelle and I readily accepted!! And were cheery and happy!! when Mr. Taylor escorted us to St. Peter's and showed us around the kirkyard, and the "stones" of our forefathers. He then rushed off to call on the lady Catherine? ( I feel remiss that I can't remember her name) who was the "Keeper of the Church keys" who, nearly drenched came to open the Church and proudly showed us the "Tiffany Window". The weather was dreadful and we could not believe just how welcoming and hospitable they were to we strangers from Australia!!!
