Caledonian Isles exits Garvel Dry Dock

Another early start to catch the two Caledonian MacBrayne ferries depart the Garvel Dry Dock and transfer to the adjacent James Watt Dock.

Also very cold, but think it was worth the effort.

Peter Pan - Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow

Oh yes we did (again) .............

Second Panto visit this year.

Another great pantomime and all credit to the cast for keeping us fully entertained.

I felt as an audience we were a bit more engaged with this one right from the get go.

No photography permitted during the actual performance so here's a few of the Theatre interior.

Misty on Her Walk

Misty gets her well deserved walk over the fields behind our house.

She's showing her age a bit, but still plays like a pup and thoroughly enjoys the Walking, Chasing a Stick, and Sniffing the Scents left by the various wildlife that frequent the area.
