Family time

Monday we had Euan's grandparents, John and Flo, coming for lunch and the morning was spent relaxing. I requested a visit to Tesco's as I really do love supermarkets. Picked up a new T-shirt for a very cheap price and we got some tablet (sugar fugde type sweet) for Euan. I could have quite happlily spent another hour or so there but didn't think it was fair for Euan and Ken to follow me around any longer.

Lovely lunch of ham cooked in coke (yes, it works) and potatoes, peas and carrots followed by raspberry crumble and home made ice cream. Afterwards we retired to the lounge to watch the Tour. The grandparents aren't getting any younger so it was nice to see them.

After they left I caught up on the blog!

Yesterday we visited Glasgow and the Kelvingrove museum and gallery. It was a fantastic day. A beautifully presented exhibition, we even saw some conservators at work. I visted the gift shop which had some lovely things. I could have spent more than I did! Had a delicious lunch of haddock and mussel chowder at the gallery.

We drove home via the scenic route. The Clyde River is lovely and the houses are so different to what you see in Australia. Went through Saltcoats where some of my ancestors lived. Still looks pretty much as it would have over 100 years ago. I bet it smells better though.

Euan and I got dropped off in Ayr so we could see Die Hard 4.0. Picked up our tickets then had a quick look in WH Smith (yep, a book shop) where it was 3 for 2 and I couldn't resist. I'm having such a nice time reading this holiday. Die Hard was fun and Bruce still looks good. :-) Caught the train back to Irvine and a short £3.20 taxi ride right to the front door saw us home for a lovely beef stew and mash dinner. Caught the Tour highlights then it was off to bed with me struggling to keep my eyes open.
