Historic working glass train station in a wee village: Wymess bay
A trip to Kip Marina to visit friends, a short drive from Largs. A spot of fishing and locals who swim at the sight of a bit of sun, that water is freezing, no chance of me swimming.
I have been wanting to film Wemyss bay train station for a while. This listed building is magnificent, it is a working train station of grandeur nature for a wee village but back in those days the west coast of Scotland was a holiday destination. ‘Doon the water’ trips from Glasgow to Largs and Isle of Bute.
Please enjoy the scenic drive back from Wemyss bay to my beloved Largs.

DUMFRIES TO LARGS

Ah another trip to bonnie Scotland home for me. I usually drive up as quickly as I possible can to Largs. I do take a few pit stops on the way to rest. This time I share with you the journey from crossing the border to Dumfries. I have a rest there, I do like Dumfries, then onto Drumlanrig castle and finally Largs as the sunsets. #dumfries #dumfriesriver #dumfriesandgalloway #drumlanrigcastle #...
NO MORE FOOTBALL! WHAT IS GOING ON?

Yep, US baseball has replaced footie at WESTHAM stadium. MLB London series: Mets V Phillies. I head over for my first ever baseball match, meet some MET supporters who explain this game to me. It is a version of rounders really with a few adaptations, anyone remember playing that at school? I found the noise and repetition of the jingles irritating, it did me he'd in! The game was slow at times...

    Baseball is really a defensive game. Thats why the defense controls the ball. The strategies are the main thing many dont understand. Different situations dictate what they do. Not just the score but the players for instance a hitter with a high average gets pitched to differently than one with a low average. What inning it is makes a very big difference. I wont go on any farther. To see more watch the 2023 world series on UA-cam.

      I was focussing so hard trying to understand the game, first one ever. I was lucky to have fans next to me that made a special trip over to watch the game who explained. I suppose if I was in the US I would get more involved. I must say I did like the atmosphere; both sets of fans were mixing together in within the stadium grounds--very different from football, so I am impressed there. Will certainly try an swatch ice hockey, basket ball and American football next time :)

      @@jollygeniussworld If you ever go to Boston during baseball season go to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. It's the oldest major league baseball park still in use, built in 1912. Has a famous big green wall in left field to shield the street behind it known as the "Green Monster" and in 2003 they put seats on top of it that are like a canopy over the street behind it. Boston is my home team and I'm a season ticket holder so I go there frequently.

      Hi, I would recommend getting a bus to Heathrow central bus station or Hatton Cross. You can get the Underground (Piccadilly line ). This will take you to the heart of London. It uses tap on/off---use google/apple pay or your bank card as cashless systems on TFL transport. London has lots to offer, do the sights, lots of walking but very doable. Any advice let me know, happy to help.

      Hi it was under 8 hours, if I remember correctly I think it was 6 hours. On arrival head straight to the harbour, take ferry and go up to Victoria Peak, then you can have the rest of the time shopping/sightseeing and make your way back to the airport. That is what I did, on hindsight I could have added more but I was worried about potential queues at immigration etc so I played safe. Enjoy your trip :)
