Day 2 - 8k run and Hill House
Well, we were up pretty bright and early, looking forward (can you believe that?!) to a run. Lee decided we'd run round the coastline of Kilcreggan and Cove and I agreed quickly because it's nice and flat - and very pleasant scenery.
The map is what my GPS has sent to Google Earth - you can see we started at the bottom of the peninsula, up and round the coast and then back again. So, with 8k (or 5 miles in old money) under the belt, we trotted down the pier to take a couple of celebratory pictures. And yes, Lee has stuffed something down his tights. They really are obscene even at the best of times. Lee thinks that the route was lovely and quiet - he didn't realise he'd scared all the locals off!
We got back to Helensburgh for a spot of lunch, and then decided to pop into town to the Tourist Info and have a quick look round. We decided to visit Hill House at the top of Helensburgh, a Rennie Mackintosh masterpiece. It was beautiful - we both enjoyed it more that we thought we would! Sadly we weren't allowed to take any pictures inside. We didn't dare risk it as there were armies of National Trust battleaxes ready to pounce if you misbehaved!
Lee saw a necklace and bought it for me, which was an unexpected romantic gesture. He reckoned that he couldn't go wrong as it is pink and sparkly. I'm obviously very easily pleased! It is very pretty - a handmade glass pink and sparkly pendant on a silver chain.
We've cooked for ourselves tonight in the flat - the luxury of a large kitchen! - and it's now a lovely sunny evening. We're having a relaxing evening in before another run tomorrow, weather permitting.
