Yesterday we left Norwich by train straight after breakfast, made our way by crowded tube and foot from Liverpool station to Euston Station in London and then got the train we had booked to King's Langley where a friend of Noel's met us. He and his wife are lovely people and, after lunch, took us to St Albans cathedral. It had a very interesting history. Now it is used for services for my different Christian groups. A lady had just finished a guided tour when we arrived. Pat asked her if she could show us around. Ok she said. An hour later she told us she had to go. She was fascinating.
In the evening we went to a nice pub for dinner. Early this morning Pat drove us to Luton airport, from where we caught a plane to Glasgow and then a train here to Oban. We chatted in the train to a lady from Liverpool whose mother was from Ireland and father from the outer Hebrides . We walked a kilometre along the waterfront to our b and b. We have a lovely view out over some water to different boats and some islands with hills, grass and not much else on them.
We have just had dinner in a place straight out of the 1950s. I enjoyed a scotch - the first since I was in Edinburgh in 2010 but the fish and chips were quite unremarkable. The waiter was from Bulgaria and interesting to talk to.
