Look well to this day, for it is life,
The very best of life,
In its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence,
The joy of growth,
The splendour of action,
The glory of power,
For yesterday is but a memory,
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today if well lived,
Makes every yesterday a memory of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope,
Look well therefore to this day.

As you can guess from this poem, today was horrible, until we got to Clarkston, and enjoyed the fabulous hospitality of Craig and Diane Roberston. After a few beers, wine and Drambuie it all seems a lot better.

Observations of the day:...

All roads from Carlise to Glasgow are uphill. There are no down Hills.
The wind which ever direction was in our face .
The old A74 is in need of new tarmac
Why have one puncture at a time when you can have two.
There are more types of rain in Scotland, than the Eskimos have words for snow.
