"All Lit Up"

Quiet start to the day and in the afternoon went to Glasgow with friends to see the lights and generally have a coffee and a walk round the town. George Square is looking terrific and so too is the old fruit market which now has a variety of restaurants within its precincts. Constantly amazed by how dramatically Glasgow has changed. The former Sheriff Court in Ingram Street was a revelation.

The title quote comes from a BBC commentary on the Coronation Naval Review of 1937. Sadly the former naval officer giving the report had taken too many pink gins and was as lit up as the fleet. The BBC quickly cut the broadcast!! Shame really.
