Fairground Attraction

Cycled home from work this afternoon. It's just over 20K and it's a cyclepath most of the way. It follows old railway lines and a canal for the most part.

On my way through Clydebank I could see from a distance this big wheel. A fairground has pitched up on the grounds of John Brown Engineering. This is hallowed ground to my family. It' s so sad to me to see it as waste ground, I have very fond memories of being a wee girl and going into the factory floor with my Dad. Everybody in the factory knew him by name. I can still remember the smell of oil and the sound of the metal segs on his shoes on the factory floor.

I'm a little happier with a fairground on the site. I don't like to see it empty.
