John and May Templeton, from Airtnoch Farm, Fenwick, pictured on their wedding day, at Belleisle House Hotel, on January 31, 1961 – which means they recently celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.
Their family have put together a little ditty that tells their story – but it seems they needed a wide running dog to put this together!
John and May Templeton married in '61
Then, along came their first son
Followed by their only daughter
(Boy, like her mum she turned out a talker)
Then, the next came along as two
And they decided that would do!
Collie dogs, John's life-long hobby
Which took them far and wide
As far as Arizona and Delaware
... But always side-by-side
But, home is the place they love to be
With family and friends they love to see
Sixty happy years, memories galore
Happy anniversary and many more.
