🏆 For the first of its kind Langholm Old Town Bowling held their Under 16s Junior open Competition on Sunday 7th June.

What a fantastic day we had too!
A huge thank you to our generous sponsors:

Co-op
Grange Quarry
ULTRA BOWLS

Without your support, events like this would not be possible.

We welcomed young bowlers from Langholm, Lockerbie Bowling Club, Eaglesfield Bowling Cub, Lochmaben Bowling Club and across the Borders, all coming together to enjoy a day of friendly competition, learning and fun. Despite experiencing a mixture of sunshine and rain showers throughout the day, spirits remained high and the bowling was excellent from start to finish.

A special thank you also goes to all of the volunteers who gave up their time to help make the day such a success. From organising, coaching and scoring, to setting up and supporting the players, your efforts were greatly appreciated. I was delighted to be there capturing the day through photography and documenting some wonderful moments on and off the green.

Most importantly, well done to every young player who took part. Your enthusiasm, sportsmanship and determination made the event a pleasure to watch.

The Boy with the Sailor’s Bag

A uniform too large, sleeves brushing his hand,
He stands where silence fills the land.
A sailor’s cap, a borrowed pride,
Dreams of men who fought, and died.

The bag he bears is worn and wide,
Its canvas stained, its weight inside
Not guns, nor maps, nor call to fight,
But poppies red — so vivid, bright.

Each bloom a whisper from the past,
A promise made, a shadow cast.
He carries not their pain or fear,
But memory — to keep them near.

So when we see that tender gaze,
The boy who honours older days,
We’ll stand in silence, heads bowed low,
For those who sailed — and won’t return home.

The Weight of Red In stillness, the poppy bleeds—a whisper of red unfurling through shadowed air,petals suspended like b...

The Weight of Red

In stillness, the poppy bleeds—
a whisper of red unfurling through shadowed air,
petals suspended like breath
caught between silence and memory.

It drifts, soft as smoke,
through the dim water of time—
colour dissolving,
as though grief itself were ink
spilling through generations.

Each fold of the flower remembers.
Each vein carries the echo of names
spoken once,
then swallowed by soil and wind.

The stem bows—not broken,
but bearing.
The red deepens—
not fading,
but keeping vigil.

And in the blur between past and now,
where light and loss intertwine,
the poppy remains—
a small, fierce ember
in the hush of November.

🌪️ “We’re not in Kansas anymore…” 🌪️

Our Halloween photoshoot took a spooky turn down the Yellow Brick Road this year — featuring Dorothy, the Wicked Witch, and the Tin Man! 🧙‍♀️✨ But behind the glittering magic of The Wizard of Oz lies a trail of strange and haunting Hollywood history...

💀 The Wicked Witch’s makeup was actually copper-based — so toxic it caused severe burns during filming.
🪞 The Tin Man’s original silver makeup made the first actor seriously ill.
🔥 And remember that iconic fireball scene? It went too far — Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch) caught fire during filming.
👠 Even Dorothy’s ruby slippers weren’t safe — several pairs mysteriously vanished from set, fueling decades of Hollywood myths.

Our take adds a little dark fairytale twist to this timeless classic — where the magic of Oz meets a touch of the macabre.

✨ “There’s no place like home”… especially when it’s haunted. 👻
