Usually if it’s an alright day (blue sky etc) i’ll go out for a wee lunch time wander with my camera…bit of exercise blah blah blah. Yesterday started off alright so I thought…yeah…i’ll go for a wander. Where though? I think I’ve wandered as far as I can all over town within my lunch hour. Then I remembered! I’m spoilt for choice of places to go…work is 5 mins walk from two train stations…magic!. Straight to central I headed with a view of hopping on the next train to wherever. Looked at the list of places…one stood out…not because there was a badly cut out business man pointing at…or that nearly everything else I seen was in black & white except said destination. It just sounded nice. Rutherglen. Glens to me are nice places…with the exception of maybe glenn close. I had a whole seven minutes to kill so went and bagged a boots meal deal and train ticket to Rutherglen. £1.85 return…not bad…considering I had no idea where it was or how long it would take to get there.

On the train I decided to tuck into sandwich. I went quantity over quality…A chicken triple decker. Chicken & sweetcorn, Chicken & bacon and Chicken salad. That’s the order I ate them in…I feel a fool for not making the double meat the last one, clearly the best till last. Then 10 mins later I arrived. Followed all the old ladies that got off. Was here I was caught in a massive tangle of construction. The train station at rutherglen I think was added a bit last minute. It’s a good walk away from the town centre and you have to go across a massive big old shonky bridge. It was here If i’m being honest I got all my good photos the town centre Itself was a bit sketchy. For some reason every shop was claiming to be the cheapest, they were all shops that sold everything and had it all in the window. Also spotted multiple amusement halls and bingo.

I wish I had the guts to take pictures of random people..I think I may get killed in Rutherglen for that though. basically I went up one side of the street down the other and got back on the train. Quite a good wee jolly. Rutherglen did have a shopping centre but I was too scared to go in it AND a few good looking charity shops BUT it’s my month of not buying crap..so I resisted even looking. Don’t think I’ll be going back
