Long and interesting day


Obviously had a long day on the road, made it to Runcorn, but with a delay at Glasgow as Bob D. had been out all night dealing with a serious crime in Edinburgh.
South to Runcorn, where I met Jill,the "hole in one" lady, so delighted to have managed this feat, got her badge, been there - terrific.
Heading homeward and despite what I say about the white van men , I think it is me who has earned another three points compliments of either Strathclyde's or Dumfries and Galloway's finest, all in the name of either road safety or the community income fund !!!
Today's photos are , firstly , the superb Jewell which I was presented with last night and also of my "Friday girls" who were in yesterday for lunch. The young blond lady, not from Essex, is heading off this weekend to live in Paris as a PA for her GM, I am not sure if she really knows what she is in for , speaks no French, and knows that there is a "Scottish pub" in Paris !!!!!!!!!! But is not quite sure how big Paris really is ?
On a different tack, but masonic - we go each year to Temple old kirk yard, Temple Village as part of the Knight's Templar's ceremonies as they had an encampment nearby associated with King David of Ballentradoch. This week in our local paper there was an article about the discovery of a mysterious carved stone found in a wall by builders who were working on a wall. the stone has carvings similar to Viking monuments in medieval graves and in Celtic carvings.
the stone is now being researched by staff from Historic Scotland.
