Primary 1 were very excited when they had a special visit from Agnes Burns. Agnes looked different because she wore unusual clothes and she didn’t travel in a car – she came by horse and cart. She called us bairns and not children. She even called Mrs. Musgrave ,”Dearie !” We thought that was really funny.

She showed us a picture of her little cottage with its thatched roof. We were fascinated when she told us that her animals lived  in part of her cottage.

She had a basket full of her special things including her silver spoons, candle stick and her thick woollen shawl. We think that Mrs. Burns is a time traveller from long ago and we are really looking forward to finding out more about her life.
