Saga of a woman old enough to know better who lets her life be governed by the ridiculous hobby of breeding and showing dogs, musing on life, the twenty first century, Cameron and his mini-me, and the occasional sheep.

As far as I remember, the terminus for the 29 was Maryhill. I remember Fred Hill, the shop in the picture - it was, I think, the first discount jeweller in the city.

Oh, and the green and yellow livery was at that time standard for Glasgow trams and buses - hence the old joke about "what` s green and yellow and comes in bunches?" becuase they tneded to turn up all at once after a long wait.
The older trams were colour coded, with a different side colour for each route - in case you didn`t read too well.

I really like the simplicity of that name "Fred Hill"!!

So public transport is the same everywhere in the world!! Either there's none or 3 at the same time!!!
