Tullybannocher closed, last day Classic meeting

 Sadly one of our favourite cafes and meeting places has closed, greed probably from the site owner who wants to sell the site for £300K and depriving much needed jobs in the area. Now I understand that the owner probably wants to realise his assets before the Labour government takes it all away from him but I sense that it is a sign of the times, not a good sign, greed and a lust for continual housebuilding continues apace, considering the population of Scotland is shrinking I am baffled where all the people are coming from to fill the need for housing, Africa? Arabia? Eastern Europe? and more importantly who is paying? Certainly not the people who run this country who can't even afford clothes or a holiday it would seem even on their large salaries and expenses.

Anyway enough of that depressing nonsense, we (the little people) managed to have a great day out, the carpark and cafe was full of people and the bikes came out despite the constant threat of rain, a great day out, Fiona once again stole my T3 but I am getting it back sometime.....

Photos as always tell the story.....
