Dumbarton Castle

We visited some friends in Dumbarton yesterday. They fed us with lovely soup and cheeses and fruit, and then we headed to Dumbarton Castle for the afternoon. The weather was lovely and warm without being too hot.

Back at our friends' house, we were entertained with close-up views of Lang Craigs and other local views through a telescope, and then fed again with delicious Philly cheesesteak followed by lemon meringue pie. How did Anna know that was my favourite childhood pudding. And she made it just as my mum used to make it.
