My nephew Evan comes over and volunteers time doing work projects, as the owners work to restore this amazing house.
Here is the view from the kitchen window. There is an interesting story about this bridge - google Overtoun Bridge.
This is in the tea room.
This is the ceiling in the tea room.
The view looking down the street at City Center, Glasgow.
We walked our feet off yesterday. We were so tired from our flight but as long as we were moving we were fine.
This is the Glasgow Cathedral, the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland.
This castle is Bothwell Castle home of Archibald the Grim. Gotta feel bad for his wife.....
This monument is David Livingstone. You can see the Cathedral in the background.
It's bigger on the inside...
Pretty flowers everywhere in City Center...
We are having a wonderful time. The people are lovely, the accents delightful, though like everywhere there are a few that are hard to understand.
Lindsay has delightful photos - mine are taken with my cell phone. I'll try to get a few of Lindsay's to share, but know that I'll be inundating you with photos for weeks to come!
Cheers!
