Whilst my childhood memories of Christmas are all happy ones

When Danielle Quinn joined the Ayrshire Magazine team back in September 2025, she brought with her an air of sophistication and a welcome touch of glamour.

As a wee girl in the 1970s, I used to walk from Hartfield House along Racecourse Road to Ayr Grammar and back again.

There was a real sense of occasion at Ayrshire College’s Kilmarnock Campus as graduates gathered to celebrate their hard work, determination and achievement.

When I left school, I knew I wanted to do something practical.

There are few experiences in life that bring families and communities together more powerfully than supporting a child through ill health.

When Cheyvonne Cassidy first started roller skating in May this year she never dreamt she would soon be joined by scores of others as part of a brand-new skating community.

One day when I was still a nipper, I was entrusted with posting the Christmas cards for the family.
