Aye Laddie

We went up north to Glasgow last Thursday for a some work, came back 2 nights ago. Was my 2nd visit since 2001. The city has changed quite a bit, lots of buzz, felt like a wee London. Went up to Loch Fyne with our rep and friend, Yvonne and her family for seafood and yummy stuff. Also tried some Harry Ramdens super-battered-fish and super-soggy-fries, it's extreme man, oil to the max. Jo also picked up a scottish twang from her kids. Was great fun. Have done up some pictures, they are a bit big this time round but gotta show the scale of the place. Ask Yvonne's husband about haggis and he said that he liked it, maybe I will gather the guts to try it next time.

Square in center of town.

Had some fries at BK. Not soggy.

Shopping. Looks a bit like Sydney doesn't it? Shopping was nicer than Paris for the simpler type of clothes we wear. Strange but true.

Memorial stone for the Korean War.

The Necropolis is in the back, really looks a city with the tower and all.

Bridge to the Necropolis. Jo's practising her dance steps while waiting for me.

Drive to Loch Fyne, Braveheart-class mountains in the back.

On our 2nd last day here, heard this guy playing from 100 meters away. Sounded great. Love his little purse.

Aye Lad, thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures of Glasgow- great to reminisence the grey sky and cobbled streets.

Btw, my ex-classmates are planning the 5th anniversary climb to Ben Nevis next year, what do you say?!..Let's conquer that 'hill' again! (but must remind myself to train for it)

Do send our regards to Yvonne & Min & (kids)?
