Much enjoyed reading this Neil and your mention of The Waverley brought back memories. When young, many decades ago, I used to visit relatives in Glasgow with my parents. It was something of a family tradition that youngsters had their photo taken on Waverley holding the rail and looking out on the water. Time has come full circle as while those relatives are no longer with us my youngest son and family now live near Glasgow. I was there only last weekend.
Yes we must try to do that. Much enjoyed the weather strolling around the city in shirt sleeves made a nice change from recent weather in Northeast England - then again no matter how cold it gets here there's still out there wearing little.

It is a beautiful bit of machinery. I remember you saying you were going. Great weather last weekend. Hope to bump into you next time!

Thanks for the mention!
My pleasure. Glad I saw it before it slipped behind the paywall!
