Kilmacolm

What a joy it was to visit Kilmacolm recently (October 2008) for the first time in years. We used to stop here often when I was a child after visiting Granny at the Bridge of Weir Hospital. Unfortunately, it was a dull, wet, day and the light was failing as the afternoon was drawing to a close. However, I managed a few photos and there was time for a coffee too!

Two photos of the village centre

A closer view of Kilmacolm Parish Church, the 'Old Kirk'

St Columba's Church

Some other random photos which I took before the light ran out:

(What a pity that even clicking on the above board doesn't make it quite large enough to read)

By chance, I met a lovely, friendly, lady called Geraldine McCullough who writes for The Gazette newspaper and we had a chat. This was recorded in the newspaper the following Wednesday! (This time, clicking should enlarge it quite a bit)

Many cakes were eaten during our holiday (hence the diet since we returned)!

Then it was time to return to where we were staying in Largs. The Lochwinnoch road was closed for repairs but I'm always happy to drive through Greenock. Ah, those memories!
