I'm back

Morning folks.....I'm back but the burning question is....am I in one piece.....we had a real fun trip away...but it sure has taken its toll on the old body.....so don't know if there will be any crafting done today.
And it didn't quite start off on a good note....I had booked a Friends and Family ticket which allows up to 4 people to travel with Scotrail at a hugely discounted price....my sis and 2 friends were joining the train at the next station down the line from Aberdeen...which is Stonehaven...15 minutes into the journey but when I tried to go through the barrier at Aberdeen....the machine protested and then Mr Jobs Worth came marching over....."where are the other 3" he asked....I explained.   I had just made this guy's day and he launched into the rules and regulations....not allowed...we all had to get on the train at the same station and with minutes to spare he told me I would have to go and get a ticket for myself from Aberdeen to Stonehaven.....normally I would have argued the toss with this officious little twat but no time....so I sprinted to the ticket office and just made it back before the train left.
We reach Stonehaven and the other 3 join the train....minutes into the journey....little Sis discovers she has left her purse with cash and credit cards on the kitchen table.....by this time....I am convinced the trip is doomed...do we just get off at the next station and walk home.
Oh no....us old girls aren't phased by a few minor hiccups.....Mrs Banker Kath comes to the rescue by raiding her cashline account and we set off for M&S in Argyle Street for some retail therapy.
From then on in.....we had a ball......and boy oh boy did Westlife rock the SECC.....from the minute they came on stage....the whole place was rocking and I mean literally....9000 all dancing...you are dancing whether you want to or not...but all too soon it's over and we are making our way back to the hotel....it was such a lovely evening so we decided to join the throng of happy youngsters making their way home along the river all singing their favourite Westlife songs.....then it was back to the hotel bar for a few drinkies and some mega chatting before hitting the sack in the wee small hours....and the gluttons for punishment that we are.....up  bright and early the next morning...fuelled by a massive breakfast...we are soon hitting the pavements again for more retail therapy.
No photos to share I'm afraid....I did manage to suss out the camera on my mobile phone....but cameras and strobe lighting don't make for good piccies and I haven't yet worked out how to get them from my mobile phone onto the computer anyway.....so you just have to take my word for it....that we had a ROCKIN' GOOD TIME  in Glasgow.    We met such wonderful warm friendly people.....I love the Glaswegian sense of humour and must give a little mention to the two gorgeous KLM pilots that we met at the hotel......ooohhh I can feel some freebie flights coming my way.

So from a foot sore and slightly deaf traveller....it's ta ta for now....catch up with you all later

Hugs Kath xxx
