Another Day, The Same Old Watching Brief...
But hopefully that's it at an end now.
Here's the view from the office from last week:-
And just to remind you who's in charge round here (or who used to be in charge!), here's a carved stone, presumably reused from the fabric of Kilwinning Abbey, which features the Montgomerie Coat-of-Arms:
On this occasion, it's combined with the Campbell Coat-of-arms, which suggests inter-marriage between the two families. Now my favourite Montgomerie, Hugh, 1st Earl, was married to a Campbell. It would be nice to think that this particular stone commemorates them, but I've a sneaky feeling that the Montgomeries married into the Campells a few times through the generations. I should have paid more attention to the initials, but I don't think it's an 'H' at the left hand side...
Before I finished in Kilwinning town centre, I managed to fit in a few trips to the charity shops. And in doing so, I found a big book of Greek myths (an edition for grown-ups!), a copy of which I've been sadly lacking so far! Woo hoo!!
And my hayfever's not too bad today, which is a miracle in itself!
