The trails through the estate were (given the weeks of west coast weather) very muddy and not very long (not a good thing given our propensity for walks and the dogs' propensity for chasing 4 legged things that run away) so luckily we found walkways along the side of the Clyde Estuary and took them there every day for their long walk. I think we did see the beautiful views once, when the clouds lifted one day!
Look how happy we look! The dogs were happy, I have to say - there's no such thing as bad weather. I've only once seen them rush to the door, screech to a halt and back away, deciding to just cross their legs instead. That was when it was pouring down one night in Devon.
We found a lovely place to eat just along the road (The Wheelhouse, Langbank if anyone wants a recommendation) - friendly staff, good service and food, really cosy feel to it, though it's quite big.
The apartment was wee but nice and cosy and once I'd put up some decorations and dug out the wee tree we took, it looked Christmassy too.
Only drawback with the apartment was the height of the bed, which was low enough to allow Maddie not to have to jump up on it to say hello, but instead allowed her to sit at the sides and paw at us to see if we were awake yet. Just a shame she did this every hour from about 6am til we got up!
It was lovely to see everyone though, I don't get down to Glasgow often enough or see my friends and family enough.
I did enjoy it just being us in our cosy wee flat for the (almost) whole week, though. Maybe next year we could do New Year instead?
