Hang on. Bare with me. Turns out I can't copy the link from google photos to Imgur.com. So need to save them off my phone on my laptop to upload. A bit of a process but It'll be worth it.

You don't post link at Imgur, you post the picture itself.
As for phones, read this.

Mum and I have booked my birthday holiday to Glasgow Scotland this July which we've never visited before.
Will stay there for 4 nights in a hotel and have breakfast in a Wetherspoons pub around the corner which is cheaper than the hotel's cost for that per day overall.
Had another option Dublin Ireland but Glasgow was cheaper by £25 return travel.
We'll take a 4:30 hour train from London instead of flying as the station is directly in town whereas Glasgow airport is 20 minutes bus ride out so we save on cost there.
We'd also save on airfare by using our rail discount card and not having luggage restrictions either.
Many attractions are free in Glasgow e.g. the Transport Museum, Botanical Gardens, Art Galleries and Museums which aren't in Dublin that was one of the main reasons we chose Glasgow over the other one though that's not to say we won't visit Dublin at some point that we'd like to do as well of course.

Which you'll get when they come of course.
Hopefully, the weather will be alright there as Scotland is quite unpredictable concerning that overall.
Looking ahead online it says the temperature will be around 16c when we go on July 28th with rain expected then.

We got to Butlins alright.
Left around 10:20 and arrived at 14:41 pm which was longer than anticipated but there was an accident on the M11 and traffic in some areas going up here afterwards.
Venturing in the main tent area both of us had a cup of tea and waited until 4:30 pm when the half-board restaurants opened for dinner.
Once that was over we headed into our chalet room and I got the suitcase and bag from the car.
After unpacking sightseeing the park came going around by the funfair and inside the amusement arcades where we won loads of tickets that will be saved along with others we get to tout up Sunday and see what prize is had.
Having a drink in the Skyline Pavilion we watched a party show for the kids until it was 9:45 when a Robbie Williams tribute act was on in the Centre Stage auditorium that both of us had tickets for.
Other than that my car held out which was good. I had topped up the screen wash, oil, and water yesterday but will need petrol tomorrow as down to two bars of course.

It was okay yes. The Robbie Tribute Act wasn't on due to unforeseen circumstances so a vocalist was put on instead who was good.
He performed some Robbie and Take That songs to make up for it as well as others too.

Today we ventured 10 minutes up the road from Butlins after getting petrol to Fantasy Island a theme park which has rides but also a famous market across the road with 300+ stalls making it the one of the largest in Europe apparently.
The weather was okay. No rain thankfully.
Mum and I looked around the theme park and market buying a few things there then browsed inside the arcades winning some tickets for a prize there.
Post lunch we headed back to Butlins to see the Masked Singer show live which was good.
The two guest celebrities were 80's singer Sinata and 90's singer Chesney Hawkes who won overall.
They had three other masked singers namely Sausage, Rubbish Bin, and Bush Baby who weren't competing but performed together a couple of times.
After dinner we went inside the amusements and added more tickets to our current toll then walked back through the Pavilion and stayed there until it was time to see the ABBA tribute show we saw last year at Bognor Regis which Mum liked of course.
