A great challenge this week from Patti 😁

Something Old

This is the 16th Century Dovecote (Doocot in Scots), in the Glen, Cumbernauld.

Something New

The Riverside Museum on the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow, is the new Transport Museum.

Borrowed and Blue

Whilst in Malibu, this was my wife’s bike, aptly named Blue. I occasionally borrowed it to get to Malibu Country Mart.
