Scotland, Falkirk Wheel, canals,

Pretty proud of that. It's in Scotland, I know, I'm English but I have lived in Scotland for quite a wee while now.

The weather was great again yesterday so Hazel and I had a picnic along side part of the Forth and Clyde canal. 35 miles long that joins The Irish sea with The North sea. Eleven locks with a difference of 79 foot in elevation, so they had to invent the thing in the picture.

The Falkirk Wheel, the only "Rotational Boat Transporter" in the world, 115 foot high to transport boats, up to 78 foot long, between the differing height levels.

Frankie Laine? ah, that was breakfast time today, the DVD that I had ordered was put through the letterbox by the postman, In Concert at Sheffield in 1976, O K, not quite the same as the Frankie that topped the hit parade in the 50s but watching was able to take me back. Oh, such memories.
