Holiday Memories 2


    The last country I visited was Scotland, and the city I stayed in before flying home was Glasgow.

The weather was just as you'd expect - cold, windy, damp and/or raining for the 5 days I was there. 
It was mid-July. I did enjoy my time there - especially the people-watching!


Everyone has seen this picture - the Duke of Wellington with his orange road cone, 
outside the Gallery of Modern Art:





I loved the Princes Square shopping centre, so different from the usual plastic malls:






On a dull day, these planters provided lovely colour:






Lastly, a reminder of the Commonwealth Games held in the city last year:




"The Glasgow invention of square-toed shoes was to enable 
the Glasgow man to get closer to the bar."
