My dear Friends
After I left the art gallery, I took a bus into the centre of town. This was a little like walking down memory lane, as Sauchiehall Stree has several hills off it. Up the first hilly street, Garnet Street, was my old school, the Glasgow High School for Girls, so I stood at the bottom of the hill and reminisced. In the same area is Garnethill Synagogue, the oldest Synagogue in Glasgow and the one my grandfather helped to found. It is a listed building and apparently it is possible to see the beautiful interior. I didn't go this time but I hope to on the next. It is where my father came up on business from London and attended the service. His eyes strayed and he looked at the ladies gallery and saw my mother!
I took a few photos of the streets, as my Eleanor has never been and had asked me to. This part of Sauchiehall Street has become a pedestrian precinct, and the streedt was full of people walking to and fro and looking at the shops.
More next time
Shalom from
