So much has been written regarding the Loaning and i have very fond memories of when i stayed there as a child. I used to save up my comics such as the Bunty and Jackie and cycle round the corner with them to the fever hospital adjacent to the new park. Ive no doubt other comics belonging to my 2 sisters and brother were in the bag also, but as i left dumfries approx 1966/7 i often wonder what that hospital is now. How we enjoyed playing beds on the pavement and chap door run was a firm favourite much to the annoyance of the neighbours. On a recent visit to a relative i drove past my old house and apart from a garage it looked just as i remembered it and aroused floods of memories of when i stayed there, and can anyone enlighten me as to what happened to Jane Trotter, my friend, who lived at the stoop? Many thanks, Dogilover
