Morning tea in George Square

While having a sausage roll and coffee in front of the Robbie Burns statue in George Square on a glorious Saturday morning, I bumped into fellow traveller Robin Hamilton of Loughborough who was also photographing the bard.

We share a few minutes together discussing origins and travelling - Robin is originally from Ayreshire, like Rabbie - and we took time out from the neighbouring protests against poverty and the evangelists approaching strangers with the Word.

It reminds me of the Irish saying 'Dithis giorrad rathaid' - two shorten the road.

Very interesting way to pass some time on an absolutely gorgeous Scottish autumn day...

  1. So THAT's where my husband was this morning! Glad to see the photo; hope your Gaelic conference goes well. How do you come to know Gaelic so well? Does it help in treating patients?

    Best,

    Judy
