    Fabulous day in Glasgow, Easter Sunday Service in the cathedral then a walk round the city. The weather of course has helped, but I would say Scotland is on my list to see more .

    Money wise I have only spent about £15 which is wonderful. I am dreading the journey home tomorrow as the traffic was horrendous coming.

    The upside is I am off the rest of the week, so can have some downtime at home .

    Glad you've enjoyed your Scottish visit :) I agree that Loch Lomond is lovely. It is a beautiful country. I hope the traffic home isn't too slow.

    Made it back from Scotland and the traffic wasn't as bad as expected. Scotland is definitely on my return to destination list.

    Money wise not so bad, I spent £38 over 4 days, mostly lunches, couple of souvenirs and taxis to and from pick up points. Today sees my car in the garage to have some work on its suspension. Not sure how big the bill will be yet . Fingers crossed for under £150 . Have grandson staying tonight and tomorrow we are going to a football ground for a tour round.

    Have got all my holiday washing on the line , posted all eBay parcels , still have 8 items on so hoping for more sales. Have bought more premium bonds with the profit .
    Off for lunch now.
