1: July to October: Lymington

I got back to Lymington in the first week of July.  Since then I have been sorting out my father’s house and getting the information together as to whether to sell or to let (sell).  I have been concentrating on that in order to put the house on the market in September (yes).  However in between I managed to get a few trips in, not necessarily all local.  But concentrating on the local things

I saw the Olympic torch come through Lymington:

Despite the bollocks, strangely moving.

I went to the New Forest Show (the day the Queen came, but I escaped before she arrived)

 

Side car hearses

Chickens in laps

Turkeys and ducks

Rocking horses

This feels seriously weird

Smart vegetables

Seriously fluffy bunnies

And, back in Lymington, a friendlydragonfly

Back to the Olympics, an illegally sprayed pillar box

I haven’t interfered with it!

A silly fish-and-chip night (it was raining)

Exbury Gardens

29th June: Glasgow–Rennie Mackintosh

Scotland Street Primary School was designed in 1903 and built during 1904 to 1906,  one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's last commissions in Glasgow.

The toilet blocks are outside

The rear

The red sandstone facade is broken up by squares of coloured glass and the stylised Tree of Life motif

 

The caretaker’s house is also stylish

The school closed in 1979.  It is now a museum.  Cilla Black visited it before it closed.

His School of Art is very much open

No inside photos….

but this is the library
