Locherbie

While driving back to Glasgow from Penrith we decided to drop into Locherbie. I'd read an article recently about a play just written about the women of Locherbie who washed, ironed and gave back to the relatives every piece of clothing from the plane crash in 1988... it was a cleansing process.

Locherbie is a larger town than I thought surrounded by rich farmland with crops and livestock, the town is bustling and busy on a Saturday morning. There were no obvious signs of the disaster or a monument as we drove around the town it's just a town getting on with life... something the British do very well. I've since discovered there is a memorial at the towns Cemetery. I was glad we made the detour.
