Hi Guys,
Hope you all looking forward to your summer holidays. It’s traditional at this time of year for families to take two weeks off and go away for a holiday. Years ago, everyone used to go away for the “fair.” This was the Glasgow fair, which happened the last fortnight of July. Many businesses closed for the fair; plumbers, joiners, electricians all closed for two weeks. On the Friday before the fair, children were given their “fairing”, which was a penny or two to spend on holiday. Mothers packed summer clothes in a trunk and they were sent on to the hotel so they would be there when you arrived. Glaswegians used to go to Troon, Largs, or Saltcoats. Some went even further and sailed “Doon the Water” to Millport, Rothesay or Dunoon. Nowadays, we go further a field, to France, Spain and Greece. Some of the young people in the church are going on a mission to Philadelphia in America. Wherever you go, near or far have a great time and I’ll see you in September.
Al the Ed
