Ah, foot cramp.  Such an effective way of waking up, I really should market it.

Just checked my last post, October 10th, crikey, we have been busy celebrating Mr Holmes’s significant birthday.  As you might expect, there was a food theme here.  We met John and Yvonne in Berwick, at Foxton‘s, and had lunch with Rosemary, Sarah, Michaela, Daniel and Alan at a new-to-me Chinese buffet in Edinburgh, which to their eternal credit had loads of fresh fruit and vegetables on the menu.     So, it was off to the Weeg  last weekend, with Rosemary and our chums the Burgesses.  We stayed in the very new Premier Inn at the SECC, and had great river views, I will frankly be gutted if I stay there again and get one of the car park.  We ate at the Chip, and had a most enjoyable meal.  The staff were very gracious around the fact that a six seater cab ordered two hours in advance failed to turn up, making us 15 minutes late, (yes you, Glasgow Taxis) and that I forgot to tell them that one of our party was 12 years old.  Some establishments can be pretty sniffy about that but a children’s menu was swiftly proffered, from which Chloe calmly chose the most grown up option of mussels.   Next day in appalling weather we strolled all of 400 yards to the Glasgow Science Centre which kept us all royally amused until we had to go our separate ways.

A selection of pictures below – we were so busy talking in Berwick that I forgot to take any shots.  I did put some of these on FB already.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And lastly just to see if you read this far, one of me with the band and Peaches from last Friday, thank you to every one who came along to Dalgety Parish Church where we were allowed to play on a real stage, and the lovely ladies served us big pots of tea and slabs of cake.
