'Night is Day' - Filming Day Two


The second (and longer) day of filming this weekend.

Early (enough) start at 10:00 with a late finish of about 21:00.

So a long - but rewarding - day with the benefit of having Simon Weir and Colin McCredie with many TV credits to their name.

Also lucky to get a shot of an old abandoned Volkswagen Beetle in the lane we were shooting the final scene of the day.

'Night is Day' - Filming Day One


Today was the first day filming of - 'Night is Day' - the movie.

A fun day, but not without a few technical hitchers along the way.

So, tomorrow we start all over again in another Glasgow location.

Georg Stage - Danish Sailing Ship in Greenock


A nice day - went down to see the Georg Stage again as she was open to the public.

Very friendly crew and she was spick and span - as you would expect.

The crew are aboard for 3 - 4 month, and she sails at 10:00 tomorrow morning.

Birthday Treat


We had a very good day today - took my mum for a nice lunch to the Stables in Balloch.

It's her 81st birthday.

Then to the outlets for some shopping, and on to Luss where the sun shone brightly - and warmly. We had an ice cream sitting in the warmth.

Headed home, but not before we stopped off at Erskine to pick up some Pineapple cakes to have a coffee before we ran her home.

Greenock Esplanade


After a hurried dinner I scampered down to Greenock to get some pics of the SL Performance as she left the Greenock Ocean Terminal.

She was scheduled to move at 18:00, but the crew were obviously well unprepared and I gave up at 19:30 and headed home.

Killin, Stirlingshire


 After a prolonged wait for the steam train at Crianlarich, we decided to head across to Killin for lunch.

After returning to Crianlarich to discover we had missed the train, we went back across to get some photos before heading on down to Loch Katrine.

Tourist Trail


Headed off to Crianlarich as heard that a steam train was bound for Fort William.

Sadly missed the train despite arriving early. Went off for a lunch and it came and went during that time.

Normally take on water at Crianlarich, but sadly for me, not today.
