I was asked to go to stay for a week in Glasgow, while Tom went to London for work. Guess what, I was delighted to go.

Despite a gloomy forecast, we set off for the seaside, for a walk along the new sea defences and to look for the THIRD time for that cache we cant find! And we found it!

Then we stayed another night with Hil, and drove back slowly ... read more
