Pleasant walk

After a very busy day at work I needed to clear my head, so before tea I went for a walk. It was a beautiful evening. The blossom is nearly all gone and the trees are thick with leaves. As I walked along the streets I noticed all the scents of the warm evening; flowers in the gardens, cooking smells from the houses, and, as I passed through Burnside, the familiar smell of Indian takeaway curry which I have to say made my mouth water! I made my way through Rutherglen and called in at Tesco to buy some raspberries which are from Spain, coincidentally where James is just now. Then I continued my journey to Dalmarnock, where the station has now reopened (unlike the previous time I walked there in mid May!) I was a bit disappointed with the station - I had envisaged something rather smart befitting the upcoming Commonwealth Games, but it was very utilitarian and grubby and the platforms seem very narrow. They are lined with sort of boxed in panels which I think may be temporary so maybe it's not yet completely finished and will improve. I took a train home and felt much better and more relaxed after my summer evening's walk.
