Doggy Day at the Mercat Grill, overshadowed by the SNP

I apparently missed a smashing doggie orientated coffee morning at the Mercat Grill , Whitecraig, this morning.  Thirty pooches and owners, friends arrived, and from all accounts, only one of the four legged customers let the side  down.  With luck there will be enough good photos to produce a "doggy" calender this year.
Regulars should check the Mercat Grill web site to get news of future events, the Whisky Club, and wine nights.   

ENOUGH   -    trying to type this blog and the TV news is on, with more news of the Brexit  carry on, time it was sorted out, and even worse, the SNP  led by the paranoid Nicola is waging war to get another Independence Referendum, even if it means doing a deal with the Labour party led by the IRA and terrorist sympathisor , Jeremy Corbyn (sad state of affairs), and even making new legislation to allow convicted criminals in jail to vote!!    Dirty trick the name of the game.  Sad state of affairs when I am no longer proud to wear either of the Scottish flags.    Matters can only get worse. 

Back to New Lanark Mills

Just like the proverbial bad pennies we keep turning up at the reception desk of the New Lanark Mill Hotel.  Did try somewhere else for a change, however, not the same so back we were last week.     Listed as a World Heritage Centre the Mill complex improves all the time with the obvious intent of making all the buildings totally habitable.     The shop and cafe complex have been altered and a new exhibition centre has been opened.     This weekend there was a light show taking place on the history of the site.

As the weather was nice we had a shortish walk along the Falls of Clyde where the river was at the highest I have ever seen it.  STATISTICALLY  !!!    there is normally an average of  around forty tons of water per second flowing over the Falls,   however it must have been truly spectacular when the highest flow, of 575 TPS  were flowing.

Staff from the Hydro Board were working n
ear the power station installing new transformers, so the nearby hydro power station, which has been in use since about 1926 is still earning its keep.
Nice way to rest and relax for a couple of days where the staff always make you welcome.
