Getting Back on Track.
Guess what? We all went to the Art Galleries and the Museum of Transport. Thanks to Austin for driving the mini-bus and taking us on our day out. I was surprised how busy it was, but then I believe it is now one of Scotland's top tourist attractions. I think over 3 million people have visited it since it was opened again last year after its refurbishment. We also heard the pipe organ blasting out over the visitors. Got me thinking that pipe organ music can be just as rock-us as rock music.
However others were more interested in being more quiet and reflective.
Have a look at the picture to the left , Lilias our youth worker and Aileen the church administrator are deep in thought reflecting about the coffee and carrot cake they both had. As soon as they both arrived in the Art Galleries, they headed for the cafe on the pretext that young Johnny our church technician had slept in and now needed his breakfast. Twenty minutes later this picture was taken.
Aileen is really saying to Lilias, " I don't know about you, but as I'm eating for two now, I think I'll go back to the cafe and have have another piece of carrot cake." Lilias replies, " Oh yes carrot cake, I'll join you, the doctor said its good for my eyes.
Then of course there was Liz and Marie checking out a masterpiece and conferring if they would make a bid for joint ownership.
After lunch we spent some time in what was known as the Kelvin Hall, which now houses the Transport Museum, this was a walk down memory lane. i'm going to save some of the pictures to share them with you over the next few days.
