On Friday,
21st October, Friends went to Pollok Park on a glorious autumn day,
to have our last look at Burrell for 4 years. We met at Pollok House, where we
had a tour from three experienced and knowledgeable guides. Most of us had
visited before but there is always something new to see and an intriguing new
story to hear.
Lunch was
taken in the Burrell restaurant. Our tours of the Burrell Collection were led
by FoGM committee members and long time Burrell Guides, Margaret Anderson and
John Rattenbury. The museum was suffused with autumn sunshine, the stained
glass sparkled, there were treasures and stories galore and a soprano was
recording songs for an STV programme! She sang “Time to say Goodbye”!. A perfect day.  |
