The Doulton Fountain

The Doulton Fountain is the largest terracotta fountain in the world, as well as
the best surviving example of its kind. The fountain has been beautifully
restored and relocated to the front of the People's Palace.

The Doulton Fountain was gifted to the city by Sir Henry Doulton, and first
unveiled at the Empire Exhibition held at Kelvingrove Park in 1888.
The fountain was then moved to Glasgow Green in 1890.

Saying Goodbye to Paris

Our seats on the train back from Bayeux. Started off comfy but soon the train filled up to almost capacity. Next time, avoid the local ;-) Early the next morning we said our goodbyes to our hotel We arrived very early for our flight because someone (not saying who but he visits here and I read his blog of the same trip) who advised that four hours ahead was appropriate due to the long wait at the ticket counter. It's certainly a good thing that these were available right near our gate. What a fabulous idea. There were more below us via a stairwell just to the left and in front of the windows.
