I have been meaning to upload some pictures for you to see what we’ve been up to, but what has happened is that I just don’t seem to have enough time to download the pictures, upload them into Photoshop, then into SmugMug – then choose a couple for here, resize and then upload onto the blog – so not only are there no pictures to see, but no blog to read at all!

So here I am, you’ll just have to use your imagination instead. I’ll try and load some pictures later this week.

Last Friday we took the Waverley, an old paddle steamer, ‘doon the watter’. We had just the most beautiful day imaginable. The weather was very co-operative. 10am and we were on the boat popping our first cork from a bottle of champagne! 6pm and we were rolling off the boat back in Glasgow slightly tipsy….

In between we spent a lovely time chatting to many local glaswegians, young and old, all with stories to tell and bottles of whisky snug in their bags. We passed by Kilcreggan, Dunoon and on to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute for lunch. Michelle danced to the resident band on the boat to much shouting and hollering (some positive, some not so positive!), we did tea and Bakewell tarts for afternoon tea. It really was something special.

If you want to read a bit more about the nostalgia of travelling down the River Clyde on the Waverley, here is an interesting link that gives you a story – and some pictures… more than I can do at the moment….

I’ll catch up soon!
