Headed into Glasgow this morning. We took Jamie in with us and dropped him off, only to bump into him again after we'd parked and decided to walk up Sauchiehall St in the rain. He soon went off shopping and we had a browse in Waterstones followed by morning tea and Irn Bru in the Willow Tea rooms.
We then managed a bit of shopping in the new Buchanan st shops before eating oor pieces and heading for Merrylee. We parked in Burnhead Rd and went for a walk past my grandparents houses. We went down Brunhead rd and then doubled back and along Laggan Rd, past Merrylee church and along to the school - was really upset to see that Merrylee school has been demolished!!!! Good work :-)
We stopped in the newsagents by the ex-school for sweeties and then walked along past grandad's bowling club and down and along Cathcart road past Safeways (now Sainsburies) over the railway line and back to the car.
Then we headed to Barbara's house and caught up with Susan waiting for Barbara to get home. It was fantastic to see them both and it was a lovely reunion. As we (I) was feeling nostalgic, we decided on the New Turban Tandoori at the Eastwood Toll for tea, luckily Graeme had finished work early, so we all met up and headed off for a fantastic night of curry including haggis pakora - magic!
A great day, so nice to spend time with the Kernohans, Greer and Bridie are very excited about their afternoon with Barbara on saturday, and the rest of us are all excited about our afternoon at the football - I have only a few days to make sure everyone knows the words to 'flower of scotland'!!
