We have spent a good few days with husband's parents & aunt

looking round old haunts of his...

where he spent his childhood

where he climbed trees
made dens & dug holes

where he was knocked off his bike

 & dragged down a hill under a car !

( scars to show )

Where his friends lived

( where they drank home brew & smoked rollies  )

Where they did up old cars & listened to music

( ACDC,  Pink Floyd,  Black Sabbath,  ZZ Top )

The memories flooding out.

Where he learnt to sail.

It's a stunning part of the world

the Clyde coast on the west of Scotland.

We have been talking a lot about husbands's family
who came from the Gorbals in Glasgow.
A very hard life.
