Wonderful trip to Gourock outdoor pool, Sunday 1st June 2025. The pool uses filtered seawater from the Firth of Clyde and is warmed up to a very pleasant 29°C. A great place to spend a rainy Sunday with the bairns. Honestly, it really is!

Trongate, Glasgow, Saturday 25th Jan 2025. I just loved the sunlight reflecting from the buildings behind me. The building on the left is the Britannia Panopticon music hall, the world's oldest surviving music hall and where in 1906, a 16 year old Stan Laurel made his stage debut.
