Coming to you from the scotish highlands

Since we arrived in Glasgow on Monday the 25^th of August we once again have been on the go. I don’t know where the rest we are to accomplish during this time off is to come from, there doesn’t seem to be much time between the comings and the goings anymore. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, we are enjoying every busy moment of this adventure.

Two days in Glasgow we took a bus into the city then toured via the hop on hop off sightseeing bus. Even after two days of that we didn’t see it all, but what we did see once again was history. The place is filled with history, some as long ago as the 6^th century and others as recent as the 19^th century. I disliked History with a passion when they tried to teach it in school but seeing it come to life before your very eyes puts a totally different slant on it and I am now just amazed at all there is to know.

We left Glasgow this morning and drove on some of what I can only describe as the narrowest of major highways. Some places when two buses met they had to reduce speed to a bit slower than dead slow in order to pass and other places even two cars couldn’t pass, but, there were wide spots with signs that read “Passing place” where, with great caution, two cars could meet and pass without excess damage happening. We arrived at out quaint little bed and breakfast and have been able to get our pounding hearts down to a dull roar and we will rest before another day of highway terror sets in.

I’ll post a few pics and let go for now but don’t get too comfortable, there will be a lot to tell you about the things we will be doing next.

God bless. With love.

This Cathedeal is one of only two churches in the whole of Scotland that survived the reformation in tact

This is the tall ship now moured in Glasgow as a musium.  It Circumnavigated the globe 4 times and spent more than 5000 days at sea. As you can see it has a new Captian
