It was a good decision!
Getting up early and running through city streets is not my idea of a perfect start to the day but we’re in Glasgow for a week of filming so I chose my route carefully.
A jog along the Clyde then down Sauchiehall street and back to the merchant quarter was more uplifting than I expected and brought me face to face with the rhythm and pulse of early morning commuters, in this vibrant city.
As the we left our suites for a busy day ahead a kind American woman held the door open for us as we worked in convoy to load our equipment into our kerb-side vehicle.
With the last of the gear safely stowed I thanked her and she replied; “Sure, you guy’s are welcome. Have a great day!”
“Oh, we will, and you too!” I responded.
“The kindness of strangers,” I commented to Paul as we headed to our first rendezvous with the our other crew members.
Later, two Glasgow City cab drivers went out of their way to help us with great good patience and incredible civility.
The kindness of strangers!
It’s late now, and our crew, Dr Mackenzie and Dr Craig have had a fantastic, creative and very productive day, so no film clips or photograph posts this evening.
Just an indelible impression of how we can all help each other, if we’re only prepared to extend the hand of friendship to complete strangers.
Life, after all, is just what you make it!
Isn’t it?
