Just had a call from garage - Freda does not need a new boot but she does need new back brake pads However that's likely to be less than a new tyre [ I think/ hope ]

Once the pads are on she'll be shampooed and then MOTd and come back to her nice warm house .

Hope HGs day is better down there - here we have a bit of wind and it's definitely chilly and grey

Have a great day then - blow the cobwebs away

Gwyn - I don't think it will be the only car with Dutch Plates

For those that don't know the Burrell Carpark - there are actually 2 with the 'main ' road running through the middle - I would suggest we all meet up in the lower car park . The top one is mainly Blue Badge parking [ and remember that in Scotland the 'blue badge' is for the person not necessarily his own vehicle ]

Car parking has a modest charge £1 with ticket from the meter but it lasts all day

I'll be there with my Freelander [ deep and sparkly blue ] and a very memorable registration - 162 BUS so I should be easy to spot .

Just don't ask me for directions - my navigational skills are NIL

They were certainly intent on their 'discussion' and that gave you the chance to capture what you could . Well done
