Well ... I'm Back ...

[sunny-dave]

... after a week of exile in the 1970s (aka The Isle of Bute).

What a dump Rothesay is - every shop/cafe/pub was either closed/condemned or teetering on the brink of commercial suicide.

The countryside was OK ... but it did rain quite a lot ... every day ... I read several books ... very fat ones ... thoroughly.

The shopping highlight was "The Co-Op that used to be Somerfield" - it even had (whisper it quietly ... FRUIT).

I did however manage to take a series of photographs inside the Gents on Rothesay Pier ... my case comes up next week.

PS - Anyone fancy a pint?

It wasn't brilliant, Steve - some good photos in between the rain I hope though.

And I read CMJ's autobiography - a splendid book by a much-missed man.

Shame on me.....I have been all over the world but have never been to Scotland.

It was very 'with it' when I worked there, Dave. Mind you, it was 40 years ago.

I did miss seeing the bright, sunny baby picture. :)
