U3a Art Lovers' Group outing to Glasgow Hunterian and Kelvin Grove galleries                        8th October
They say every picture tells a story, in this case  illustrating a successful, interesting and convivial outing to the Hunterian with its iconic wide ranging collection of art with so much for us to share in our small groups. Due to time constraints we were unable to take in The Mackintosh House, and other works of art, leaving the way open for another visit solely concentrating on this specific gallery. We made our way back to the familiar Kelvingrove gallery where this happy shot was taken and once more  enjoyed our lunch , then headed for home filling our coach with further chat , sharing our experiences in the presence of our fellow passengers, recalling highlights of the day and  a special time spent in Glasgow. Bye for now, Irene

Loch Lomond: Where the sun shines bright.

Just 90 minutes away, Loch Lomond is one of the easiest escapes from L&D. On 20th August, 53 of us travelled by luxury coach to Tarbert, where we boarded a cruise for a classic Loch Lomond experience on the water. The scenic trip explored the northern loch around ‘Honeymoon Island’ one of Loch Lomond’s 30 islands. The cruise was followed by afternoon tea in the nearby Arrochar Hotel on the banks of Loch Long. The lavishly filled sandwiches, artisan home baking with gourmet scones and clotted cream had us returning relaxed and replete. Our thanks go to our delightful driver Darren and Glenton Holidays.
