    My second post in my Historic Scotland series features The Tenement House. This National Trust for Scotland (NTS) time capsule of the turn of the 20th Century can be found on Buccleuch Street in Glasgow, just north of Sauchiehall Street.

    I’m starting my historic Scotland?????? series with some shots of old ships in Dundee taken on our recent visit.

    Unfortunately, we weren’t aware that some historical interest sites in Dundee are closed on Mondays. These shots are all external, but we will be visiting Dundee again & getting some internal shots of these old vessels.

    Again, this post was inspired by Elke’s Fan Of… Deadheads. Last week’s Fan Of… Daffodil Walk was a gallery of daffs still going strong; after a couple of weeks & the daffs on the walk were all starting to wilt & had been munched on by various wildlife. Enjoy the carousel below

    This is also my post for Cee’s FOTD, & as all these pictures were taken with my iPhone SE, it is my post for John’s Cellpic Sunday.

    This post was inspired by Elke’s Fan Of… Deadheads, which was posted last week; the daffs around here are still going strong, so I thought I’d share some with you

    This last week, Susan & I went for a wee walk to stretch our legs & spent more time photographing the daffodils along the way.

    This is also my post for Cee’s FOTD, & as all these pictures were taken with my iPhone SE, it is my post for John’s Cellpic Sunday.
