- got into the attractive small village of
Thornhill about 4 o'clock + half an hour later
left by another bus for the 6 miles to
Tynron. Alice met us at the bus + we
walked the few hundred yards to the
manse.
Tynron descrip. [description] [underlined] Tynron is a very ancient village of
perhaps 20 cottages + a church. There has
been a church on the same site since
about the year 700 though it has been
rebuilt several items. In the country
adjacent are several very beautiful homes
in nice grounds now operating as the
focal points of prosperous farms.
Ayrshire cattle + Galloways are almost the
only breeds seen while the lowland
sheep seem to be Cheviots in the main
with black face in the hills. Hay +
grain are the main crops.
Jack greeted us most cheerfully + our
visit started out in good form.
The Manse is an old place, obviously
added to on several occassions [occasions]. There
are the usual scattering of outbuildings
+ the Ecclesiastical privacy is assured by a
10 ft [foot] stone wall around the garden.
The house is the darndest mess I have
ever seen. Joyce + I are apalled [appalled] to
find people of the background of these two
