on the way to Glasgow.<\/p>\n
After a rather frantic week at work and having to deal with the tube strike (so very early mornings to ensure we could get to work on time and get everything done) finally on holiday.<\/p>\n
Up normal time today (so early for the weekend) and off to get the train. Of course, our line into the centre was shut so we had to go by train and walk. Got to Euston in plenty of time – enough time to have a bacon roll and coffee. The seat reservations weren’t working but we were early enough to get our seats and settle in. Now just rolling through the countryside.<\/p>\n
Once at Glasgow we find our way to the airport to get our rental car then head off to Loch Awe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
