Tuesday 23rd May
This should be the last entry for this web blog ....
The reason for the Sinclair family's recent visit to bonny Scotland was two-fold.
Firstly, to celebrate with our son Matt his wedding to the wonderful wee lass, Karen.
Secondly, to see first-hand how Matt was coping with being diagnosed with having chronic myeloid leukaemia last October.
The wedding was a great success in every aspect!
Matt's treatment for the leukaemia is progressing well although he still has a long way to go.
He is taking a new drug called Gleevec.
His positive outlook is quite inspirational. His web blog, which he started soon after being diagnosed, has resulted in a number of newspaper articles being published. The last being last Sunday in the UK's Sunday Observer. The text of the article can be found here.
Matt's web blog can be found here. If you haven't already read it then do so. It's worth reading!
PS there are 113 photos in this blog! They may take some time to load .....
1st and 2nd May - Singapore
To break the long flight we decided to spend to days in Singapore.
We stayed at a very nice 5 star hotel in the centre of the main shopping plazas. We did have a look around but the weather was hot and humid and we were jet-lagged!
Saturday, 29th
Our last day in bonny Scotland!
We had lunch with Matt, Karen, Anne and Tom at a little village pub just north of Glasgow.
After a stroll around it was time to head for the airport ....
Friday 28th
Another trip to Edinburgh .... this time Matt, Kerry and I had a lovely lunch overlooking the Firth of Forth - between the rail and road bridges. The weather was warming up and we had a great day.
Monday 24th
Today Kerry and I went for another walk though the streets of the West End of Glasgow. We ended up at the Transport Museum which again was interesting with a large collection of old cars, trams, trains and model ships that had been built on the Clyde.
