Dentist and Old Neighbourhood

Today was the last visit to the dentist. I've had a bit of work done the last month and it's over! I walked home most of the way and took in a few places from my childhood and youth. My childhood home is seen today and 140 years ago. Very little difference really. The area is now a conservation area.













I cut through Victoria Park and must say the parkeepers are doing a brilliant job. It looks far better today than it ever did when I was a kid, and believe me, in Glasgow that is a rare thing.

The walk took me through Broomhill and Hyndland where I visited the Botanic gardens greenhouses. The Keeble Palace is looking much more 'established' after the reconstruction last year.





Finally a walk past Kelvinbridge then took the Underground back to Buchanan Street in the City Centre.
