Beryl Pickering married Fred Tittensor, whom had a daughter Sheila from his widow. Fred and Beryl had another daughter whom now owns the Cafe in aberlady east Lothian, which was once the quill gallery, when run by Beryl.
The first daughter Sheila was my mother, and my Auntie runs the Cafe.
If there are any questions about Beryl, feel free to ask me. She was an amazing artwork, and painted many things people don't know!

I was brought up in Buchlyvie and I also sat for Beryl Tittensor in the 1960’s. My recollection is that the drawings were for a children’s school reading book. The painting referred to above, Village in a Highland Landscape, is in fact of the North Church in Buchlyvie from the top of Station Road.

One of my lecturers in English Language at Edinburgh University in the 60s was a David Tittensor who came from Staffordshire and told us there was a village of that name there.
