Catching Up

Long time, no see, looks like a good outing on Saturday can’t go wrong on a day like that.  Weather in Glasgow on Saturday wasn’t nearly so good, but we made the best of it by taking father-in-law for a run (in the car) up the coast to Gourock.  Pleased to find the birthday boy in fine spirits and feeling well in his 87th year.  Sunday morning dawned bright and sunny and although I declined FSS’s invitation for a run, I strolled out to the highest ground and took some piccies of the rising sun.  More eating and drinking ensued before the journey home.

Sunday morning dawned bright and cold and I had a walk up the hill to get a couple of snaps.  The two below are of the local primary school’s windmill.
