Granny, put your tea down and play with me

---

Alex a had a week off work, so we set off for Glasgow, though not directly, as we did a little cache hunting on the way. One of those caches was very exciting as we had to drive along a road between the carriageways of the M6, which are a few hundred yards apart at that point, but nevertheless, it was quite an experience...... Needless to say we had a great week, lots to do and never a dull moment. It was Tom's birthday while we were there. so we were able to babysit while they went out for a meal.

alpacas at the farmers market in Orton
where we found ourselves on Saturday morning

the street was full of stalls
selling bread, meat, fish, cheese, jam.... spent quite a lot!

and then there's the chocolate shop......
home made chocs, not to be resisted

and so to Glasgow
where on Sunday there was a music for children event run by the National Orchestra of Scotland

did you see this on the news?
these flats were all demolished that very afternoon. We waited and watched, but lost interest in the end, and they were demolished after we left. We did see the cloud of red dust though.

We visited the falkirk wheel
which lifts boats from one canal to the other, rather than using a series of locks. a feat of engineering, though a bit boring if you're only 2.

and a water park
alas, no wellies or spare clothes

babes in the wood
left under the oak tree

blackberrying can be tiring
so Uncle Alex was handy for a lift back to the car

well you certainly were very busy
I bet Granny now needs another holiday relaxing on the couch and drinking fortifying tea and eating home made chocolates!
