Nick’s first time on the Glasgow Subway
Look back to last week, when Nick got to use the Glasgow Subway for the very first time!
Still can’t believe, how many people, don’t know Glasgow has a underground. Which happens to be the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro.

Remaking Trainspotting scenes while at Corrour railway station
Nick had us remaking some of the scenes from Trainspotting. Which I must add, I’ve never seen in my life! But did have great fun doing them! If you ever, make it to Corrour railway station. You, will of course, have to do the same!! 🙂
Loved our Scotland 2019 trip
Loved my 2019 trip to Scotland with Nick! We’re already, talking about our next one in 2020!
The weather could not have been better! It did not rain once! Well OK, did once… But we was on a train at that point!
BTW We took this photo on the way back from Scotland!
