Jewels in the Crown

Another busy day! Gill and I travelled into Glasgow to attend 'The 50+ Show' at the SECC on Clydeside. Unlike yesterday, the day was dreich and showery, and this was the view out of the bus window as we arrived at the venue.

The building under construction is apparently The Hydro, which will be the venue during the 2014 Commonwealth Games for the gymnastics and netball competitions. It was designed by the architect, Sir Norman Foster, and is due for completion in September 2013.

At 'The 50+ Show' we could have:

made a will,
climbed a wall,
sponsored a dog,
volunteered to be a guinea-pig help with research at the Glasgow Memory Clinic,
line-danced and
signed up for a 'dental holiday' amongst many other things.
