July 26 This morning we were up bright and early +
caught the train for St [Saint] Cyrus at 8:30. The
trip was most pleasant + we arrived in Montrose
in brilliant sunshine + took taxi to Dors.
We are now settled into digs scattered all over
the place. Garry [Cowan] bed + breakfasting at Dors.
Ann [Cowan] in a downstairs room at Mrs Stewarts
+ Joyce [Cowan] + I similarly upstairs.
Judge Mervin [?] Yates is staying with Dor just now,
an aged rather scruffy character who was once
a considerable athlete + occupied various
important judicial posts including A.G. [Attorney General] of
Bahamas. Now resembles a hybrid pekinese
X tawny owl + does little but walk from
a barrel of Perry cider to his easy chair.
His sister calls him "barrel" most appropriate
He has a good wit + is quite entertaining.
Met the younger brother Gervais Yates
who lives in Greenwells [word crossed out] Wellsgreen, down
the road from Rosefield, Dor's place. The
Gervais Yates - Mrs + son Kit + daughter [illegible name]
were delightful. Full of life, knowledgeable
+ entertaining. He has a first class
garden both of flowers + fruit. I was particularly
struck with a large very dark blue
Polemonium - an annual he thinks also by
an amazing hedge plant that he calls
Lonicera nitida [underlined]. It doesn't look like a Lonicera [underlined]
to me - much more like a box. But whatever
