14 April 2013: Glasgow to Southport

SATURDAY
Raindrops on the window of my Glasgow hotel room. A reminder in the parking garage "have you clicked." 
Stop for breakfast at the Cairn Lodge service station off the M74. Sky News is on the TV in cafeteria of the service station, there is a broadcast of the news story: "The London School of Economics says the BBC deceived its students and put them in serious danger while making a Panorama programme in North Korea."
Back on the wet roads.
The countryside. Following road signs to Southport.
Marshfield neighborhood of Southport.
Driving through Southport. Arrive at the Bed and Breakfast.
Interesting lamp post. Bag it, bin it was stenciled all over the sidewalks, yet that did not stop dog owners from cleaning up after their dog.
A sign in the cafe where we had lunch: All cakes may contain calories.
Classic waterfront candy stand. Former paint jobs.
