A selection of the over 1000 on display
Yesterday July 20th early train again .The 7.35 from Conolly Dublin to Belfast,in Belfast the ferry to Scotland and there a connecting train to Glasgow central. Arrived at Maclays Guesthouse end of the afternoon.
The Guesthouse is quite big , 6 connecting houses with about 60 rooms.Found out during breakfast that I increase the average age by approx 1 Year to probably 24 years. However it s quiet but unfortunately no beer.
In the center is a shop showing old sewingmachines of the type my mother used 50 years ago. A quick count, about 1000 on display.
Took the hop on hop off sightseeing tour this morning and saved £ 2.-- by being a sr.

Went in the afternoon to New Lanark about 1 hour from Glasgow. And again a saving of £ 1,50 by being sr. It works nobody asks paperwork just showing my grey hair. Should have done it 10 years ago. New Lanark is an Unesco world heritage site. It s a big renovated cotton mill village where around 1850 over 2000 people were working and had production until around 1960.
Now they still produce a bit on the old machines. Renovation has been done excellent.
Weather the last two days dry and in the afternoon sunny. Temperatures stay low .
