We lived not far from Dunblane then. I had a five day old newborn and could not take in what was coming over on the radio news. Those poor babies and Mrs Mayer. sad

Today is the 27th anniversary of a heinous crime that rocked Scotland. Blessings on the memory of all those who suffered: the teacher who did what she could to save her class, the innocent children, their families and all who remember that day.
I was teaching and I recall a fellow teacher's face turning white when the news dropped. He rushed out of the staffroom. It transpired both his children attended the school, but thankfully escaped. Not so fortunate was another colleague who lost her five year old niece that day.
The AA Milne poem, 'Now I am six' comes to mind.
RIP Gwen Mayer and all those innocents
