Monday 18 - Wednesday 20 June (Glasgow)Off by train from Greenock to visit the Murrays in Glasgow and a nostalgia trip for Benj. Great to see Bill, Isabel and Gillian, and also Douglas and Evelyn Gilmour and Dorothy McInnes. We had a lovely meal and lengthy nightcaps and reminiscences, and the following day we headed for Town, and the shopping centres. Isabel had arranged for us to do a guided walk that evening round Dowanside, learning about the history and architecture of this lovely part of Glasgow's West End,and we ended with a fine Indian meal, where Clem Imrie, also recently retired, joined us. On Wednesday morning I was treated to an hour playing with Bill's superb collection of guitars, and then I walked Cath round another nostalgia trip through my Alma Mater, then to the Art Gallery for a final spot of Glasgow Culture. Back by train to Wemyss Bay for a final night with John and Jill before preparing for the next stage of the sailing tomorrow. Many many thanks again to our hosts in Skelmorlie and Glasgow.
