Tuesday, September 14th 2010 - Glasgow, Scotland

Met at The Trees for breakfast and headed out to the old neighbourhood (51 Castlemilk Drive) and Rutherglen for a drink in Mum's old haunt Chapman's.  We had a fabulous day hopping off and on the buses and visiting the old Terrace of Trees, our old school, etc., so great to be able to share this walk down memory lane with Tricia and Theresa.  Joseph has just stopped by for a visit and we are hoping that Mary and her sister Anna will be able to join us tonight for fish and chips as Tricia is heading home tomorrow to stay overnight with Steve and Michelle in Calgary before heading to Kamloops on Thursday.   Had a great final phone call with Aunty Theresa in Neilston, so said our final 'farewell' and haste ye back again sentiments.




9:00 pm Well they arrived (Mary and Anna), and here we all are....... the sisters enjoying a refreshment together.  Mary and Anna look absolutely brilliant - as are we all.  Had a great reunion and fabulous fish and chip supper!  What a great evening, thanks to Theresa, Tricia and Ian for their wonderful hospitality in this beautiful luxurous apartment.  Made arrangements to meet up with Mary at Glasgow Airport for our flight to London and overnight at Gatwick House before heading to Dubai on Thursday - so looking forward to this most exciting part of our big trip.
