Gretna Gateway


Outing for Ann today to Gretna Gateway shopping mall where we met our friends John and Yvonne for lunch. As Gretna is on the Solway Coast there was no snow here, though we still have plenty of snow lying in Hawick.

Alex, Good to see you and Ann out and about.
I passed through Gretna Green on the train from Carlisle to Dumfries and return. Did not see much from the railway tracks, but at least now I have a sense of where it is located.

Regards,
Tom

Looks a lovely day there Alex.
I stopped in Gretna for fuel on my way home from Ferintosh a couple of weeks ago.

Its the makers label, which reads Midasclothing.com, designed for men.
This company employs local craftspeople in Lancashire England to build kilts and other MUGs. A feature of their products is this label is always visible somewhere on the outside of the garment. They made the black kilt which John is wearing and also the boxpleat MUG which I am wearing.
