Day: March 25, 2015

A quick trip to Perth to pick up some kilt sox for the wedding on Friday – not mine I hasten to add.  Disappointing lunch in Cafe Tabou.  Only the second bad lunch I’ve had there.  Remind me not to have beef cheek there again.

Managed an hour in St Mo’s.  Saw one of the deer with what looked like a fawn.  Must try to get a better photo tomorrow, because Friday will be a wedding fest!

Back home then into Glasgow to salsa.  Motorway was mobbed on the way home so had to rely on the satnav on the phone to get me out of difficulty and find a way through the backstreets on to the motorway at ASDA.  What would we do without this technology now?

Today is Scamp’s birthday, so we went in to Glasgow to choose a suitable birthday prezzy.  The day started out with wall to wall sunshine, but that deteriorated into rain and hail showers.  Got soaked on the way home.  Still, we had a good day and lunch in O Sole Mio.  Not a bad day.

Torrential hail shower in Glasgow today.

The Long Way Home was a children’s WW2 series on BBC, many moons ago, 1960 in fact.  It was the story of a group of prisoners-of-war attempting to get home from Germany.  I remember watching it entranced every week wondering if they would get back home.  Today was similar.  I kept wondering if ntwe would ever get home.

We set off about 9.30am.  Headed for Baldock to the butchers to stock up, then to Tesco to grab some Adnams beer.  After that, it was on to the A1(M) and keep driving until one of us got tired.  Then we’d stop, have a coffee and then back on the road.  We eventually got home at 7.00pm.  Tired, but happy to be home again.

The arches and that glorious frieze make it look like a city hall, but in fact it’s the Tesco building in Baldock. Now isn’t that much nicer than a shiny new Tesco Metro?
