This (last) Weekend

Last weekend was spent in Glasgow.


          Our first booking via airbnb and a huge success.
  I was sorely tempted not to leave.

  • We walked through the Botanic Gardens and along the river Kelvin.

  • We visited Zara Hadid's Riverside Museum.

  • We spent a day in Edinburgh with my sister and her family.
We reckoned it had been five years since all of us were last together.

I was reminded of visits to my great aunt's house in Govan as a child.

I highly recommend the food and service in Glasgow's only Vietnamese restaurant.
  We donated a Bristol £1 note, featuring a cyclist, to add to their collection of bank notes.

  • We viewed the world's first comic at the Hunterian's Comic Invention exhibition.
An interesting history of the comic book & its relationship to other art forms,
 including medieval manuscripts.

  • We had lunch in the famous University Cafe where I ate a scotch pie and chips.
A Byres Road institution!
