Escape!

I felt the need to escape from the incessant news coverage of the Queen's passing, so took a trip to Milngavie this afternoon, where I met up with Lulabel.

We enjoyed coffee and a slice of iced ginger loaf in the café at Gavin's Mill, where I blipped these cute little knitted jackets from Peru in the Fair Trade shop upstairs.

The Service of Thanksgiving for HM is on in the background as I type and the congregation has just sung the 23rd Psalm (Crimond) which, although an atheist, I cannot sing or hear without tears ever since my mum's funeral 38 years ago. 

Maybe today's are also for the late Queen.
