6/30 - Remembering

Day 6 of my 30 Days of Gratitude and Iain and I got to take dad out of hospital for the day. He wanted to go a wee run. Just the three of us. So we went to Callendar which is about 45 minutes from Glasgow. He's struggling to walk and is very frail at the moment, so we stayed in the car most of the time. We had a lovely drive and came back via Doune Castle which was the place used for Monty Python's Holy Grail movie, then up to Bridge of Allan, back past Stirling and home. Just before Bridge of Allan we stopped at a monument in the middle of nowhere. It was of a man named David Stirling who founded of the SAS. I took this picture of a poppy tied to his bootlace. It was nice because dad was reminiscing a lot about the old days and even managed to give us a couple of songs from the past. It was a day to be really grateful for.
